In early development, these areas share a common distributed and modular functional organization, but it is not known whether this undergoes a common developmental trajectory, or whether such organization persists only in some brain areas. Here, we examine the development of network organization across diverse cortical regions in ferrets using in vivo wide field calcium imaging of spontaneous activity. In both primary sensory (visual, auditory, and somatosensory) and higher order association (prefrontal and posterior parietal) areas, spontaneous activity remained significantly modular with pronounced millimeter-scale correlations over a 3-wk period spanning eye opening and the transition to externally-driven sensory activity. Over this period, cortical areas exhibited a roughly similar set of developmental changes, along with area-specific differences. Modularity and long-range correlation strength generally decreased with age, along with increases in the dimensionality of activity, although these effects were not uniform across all brain areas. These results indicate an interplay of area-specific factors with a conserved developmental program that maintains modular functional networks, suggesting modular organization may be involved in functional representations in diverse brain areas.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11795307/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143045506","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}

Behavioral studies indicate that a sense of number is widespread across vertebrates and invertebrates. Specific brain regions such as the intraparietal sulcus and prefrontal cortex in primates, or equivalent areas in birds and fish, are involved in numerical estimation, and their activity is modulated by the ratio of quantities. Data gathered across species strongly suggest similar evolutionary pressures for number estimation pointing to a likely common origin, at least across vertebrates. On the other hand, few studies have investigated the origins of the sense of number. Recent findings, however, have shown that numerosity-selective neurons exist in newborn animals, such as domestic chicks and zebrafish, supporting the hypothesis of an innateness of the approximate number system. Control-rearing experiments on visually naïve animals further support the notion that the sense of number is innate and does not need any specific instructive experience in order to be triggered.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is still unclear how motor cortex activity during movement execution relates to feedback error processing. To investigate this, we recorded primary motor cortex (M1) single-unit activity in rats during a grasping task. About half of the recorded neurons showed modulation of their firing activity that did not depend on success or failure, which we termed outcome-independent neurons. Other neurons showed a difference in their discharge profile when comparing successful and unsuccessful trials, which we called outcome-dependent neurons. Among both outcome-dependent and -independent neurons, we further distinguished neurons presenting their maximum firing rate in specific epochs as defined by the task. We compared the cortical distribution of outcome-independent and outcome-dependent neurons to cortical maps of complex forelimb movements evoked by intracortical microstimulation in additional animals. The majority of outcome-independent neurons was localized within the limb extension and paw open-closure movement representations. Outcome-dependent neurons were not clearly associated to particular motor representations. Cortical arrangement of neurons, both outcome-independent and outcome-dependent, and their correlation with distinct movement representations, can serve as indicator for anticipating potential outcomes before the conclusion of an action.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143556005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most advanced meditation neuroimaging analyses have implemented primarily spatially-localized approaches, focusing on discrete regional changes in activity rather than distributed dynamics. The present study uses a geometric eigenmode decomposition of ultrahigh field-strength 7T functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from an intensely sampled case study to investigate the complex, distributed cortical dynamics associated with advanced concentrative absorption meditation. Geometric eigenmode decomposition of advanced concentrative absorption meditation and non-meditative control task fMRI data revealed elevated global brain state power and energy patterns of specific advanced concentrative absorption meditation states compared to controls, with mid-frequency spectrum brain state power and energy following a non-random, cubic trajectory through the advanced concentrative absorption meditation sequence. Further, these brain state differences were meaningfully associated with subjective phenomenological reports of attention, intensity of advanced concentrative absorption meditation quality, and sensations. This study unites precise methodological design, a novel fMRI decomposition framework, and rigorous phenomenology to provide valuable insights into the distributed neural signatures of highly refined conscious states. These results underscore similarities and differences between advanced concentrative absorption meditation and other altered states of consciousness like those induced by psychedelics-offering insights into refined conscious states and their implications for health and well-being.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11879328/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143555422","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}

First, after 5-HT exposure, changes in miniature excitatory postsynaptic current, spontaneous EPSC frequency, or whole-cell noise (σw) were restricted to postsynaptic cells in pairs (PO) and RC but absent in presynaptic (PR) and NC. Second, exposure caused a large change in holding current with a small variability in NC, but a small one with a large variability in PO/RC. In addition, ΔRin in PO/RC was larger than in PR/NC, with a negative correlation between ΔIhold and ΔRin in NC, a positive in PO, but none in RC. Third, an unbiased classifier identified most PO as RC and all PR as NC. Our data establish two distinct sets of pyramidal cells having a preferred connectivity from NC → RC. 5-HT2R-mediated modulation of transmitter release may likely reduce the signal-to-noise ratio in the ipsilateral but leave the output to the contralateral side unaffected.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143398386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With aging, anatomical connectivity undergoes significant deterioration, which affects the brain's overall function. Despite the structural loss, previous research has shown that normative patterns of functions remain intact across the lifespan, defined as the compensatory mechanism of the aging brain. However, the crucial components in guiding the compensatory preservation of the dynamical complexity and the underlying mechanisms remain uncovered. Moreover, it remains largely unknown how the brain readjusts its biological parameters to maintain optimal brain dynamics with age; in this work, we provide a parsimonious mechanism using a whole-brain generative model to uncover the role of sub-communities comprised of short-range and long-range connectivity in driving the dynamic compensation process in the aging brain. We utilize two neuroimaging datasets to demonstrate how short- and long-range white matter tracts affect compensatory mechanisms. We unveil their modulation of intrinsic global scaling parameters, such as global coupling strength and conduction delay, via a personalized large-scale brain model. Our key finding suggests that short-range tracts predominantly amplify global coupling strength with age, potentially representing an epiphenomenon of the compensatory mechanism. This mechanistically explains the significance of short-range connections in compensating for the major loss of long-range connections during aging. This insight could help identify alternative avenues to address aging-related diseases where long-range connections are significantly deteriorated.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142977616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the influence of sequence and knowledge adaptiveness on predictive coding in skill learning and rewiring. Participants were exposed to two different visuomotor sequences with overlapping probabilities. By applying temporal decomposition and multivariate pattern analysis, we dissected the neural underpinnings across different levels of signal coding. The study provides neurophysiological evidence for the influence of knowledge adaptiveness on shaping predictive coding, revealing that these are intricately linked and predominantly manifest at the abstract and motor coding levels. These findings challenge the traditional view of a competitive relationship between learning context and knowledge, suggesting instead a hierarchical integration where their properties are processed simultaneously. This integration facilitates the adaptive reuse of existing knowledge in the face of new learning. By shedding light on the mechanisms of predictive coding in visuomotor sequences, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how the brain navigates and adapts to environmental changes, offering insights into the foundational processes that underlie learning and adaptation in dynamic contexts.","PeriodicalId":9715,"journal":{"name":"Cerebral cortex","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143482131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
