PNNs are implicated in learning and neurodevelopmental disorders, but their role in the CN during development is unknown. Connectivity deficits, specifically between lateral CN (LCN) and cortical regions have been found in autism spectrum disorder with patients displaying reduced cognitive flexibility. To examine the role of LCN on cognition, neural activity was perturbed in both male and female mice using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) from postnatal day 21 to 35. We found that while an adolescent LCN disruption did not alter task acquisition, correct choice reversal performance was dependent on DREADD manipulation and sex. Inhibitory DREADDs improved reversal learning in males (5 d faster to criteria), and excitatory DREADDs improved female reversal learning (10 d faster to criteria) compared with controls. Interestingly, the DREADD manipulation in females regardless of direction reduced PNN intensity, whereas in males, only the inhibitory DREADDs reduced PNNs. This suggests a chronic adolescent LCN manipulation may have sex-specific compensatory changes in PNN structure and LCN output to improve reversal learning.

But whereas the English '<i>She believed him.</i>' has three words, the Arabic equivalent '<i>ṣaddaqathu</i>' forms one word with three meaningful subword units, called morphemes: a verb stem ('<i>ṣaddaqa</i>'), a subject suffix ('-<i>t</i>-'), and a direct object pronoun ('-<i>hu</i>'). It remains unclear whether and how speech comprehension involves morpheme processing, above and beyond other language units. Here, we propose and test hierarchically nested encoding models of speech comprehension: a naïve model with word-, syllable-, and sound-level information; a bottom-up model with additional morpheme boundary information; and predictive models that process morphemes before these boundaries. We recorded MEG data as 27 participants (16 female) listened to Arabic sentences like '<i>ṣaddaqathu</i> <i>.</i>' A temporal response function analysis revealed that in temporal and left inferior frontal regions, predictive models outperform the bottom-up model, which outperforms the naïve model. Moreover, verb stems were either length-ambiguous (e.g., '<i>ṣaddaqa</i>' is initially mistakable for the shorter stem '<i>ṣadda</i>', meaning '<i>blocked</i>') or length-unambiguous (e.g., '<i>qayyama</i>', meaning '<i>evaluated</i>', cannot be mistaken for a shorter stem) but shared a uniqueness point, beyond which stem identity is disambiguated. Evoked analyses revealed differences between conditions before the uniqueness point, suggesting that, rather than await disambiguation, the brain employs proactive predictive strategies, processing accumulated input as soon as any possible stem is identifiable, even if not uniquely.

It has been shown that humans learn and combine feature-based with more complex conjunction-based learning to tackle challenges of learning in naturalistic reward environments. However, it remains unclear how different learning strategies interact to determine what features or conjunctions should be attended to and control choice behavior, and how subsequent attentional modulations influence future learning and choice. To address these questions, we examined the behavior of male and female human participants during a three-dimensional learning task in which reward outcomes for different stimuli could be predicted based on a combination of an informative feature and conjunction. Using multiple approaches, we found that both choice behavior and reward probabilities estimated by participants were most accurately described by attention-modulated models that learned the predictive values of both the informative feature and the informative conjunction. Specifically, in the reinforcement learning model that best fit choice data, attention was controlled by the difference in the integrated feature and conjunction values. The resulting attention weights modulated learning by increasing the learning rate on attended features and conjunctions. Critically, modulating decision-making by attention weights did not improve the fit of data, providing little evidence for direct attentional effects on choice. These results suggest that in multidimensional environments, humans direct their attention not only to selectively process reward-predictive attributes but also to find parsimonious representations of the reward contingencies for more efficient learning.</p>","PeriodicalId":50114,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11823339/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142840144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
