Neural networks underlying top-down modulation of visual processing
Dr. Adam Gazzaley, MD., Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Neurology, Physiology and Psychiatry,
Director of Neuroscience Imaging Center,
University of California at San Francisco,
USA
Top-down modulation is a bi-directional process that underlies our ability to focus our attention on task-relevant stimuli and ignore irrelevant distractions by differentially enhancing or suppressing neural activity in sensory cortical regions. It is believed that this modulation is not an intrinsic property of visual cortices, but is achieved via functional connectivity between sensory brain regions and a distributed network of frontal and parietal regions. I will present new data from our lab that reveals differential entrainment of stimulus-selective, visual association cortical areas with regions of the “frontal-parietal attention network” or the “default network” depending on the participant’s goals. Additionally, there is sparse evidence in humans that a direct causal connection exists between prefrontal control regions and visual cortical activity modulation. Using a multi-modal approach that couples fMRI, rTMS and EEG, I will present evidence for a direct role of the inferior frontal junction (IJF) in top-down modulation of feature processing and its influence on subsequent working memory.

Summary:
Introspection into one's own mental state is a critical ability closely associated with consciousness. One important area of progress over the last decade has been the development of operational measures of metacognitive ability in animals and humans. The talks in this symposium will cover a broad range of recent progresses from metacognition in animals to neural mechanisms in humans. Further, we expect to open a lively, cross-disciplinar discussion on the relevance of metacognition to consciousness.

Selective attention and its effects on prey
Prof. Alan C. Kamil
Department of Psychology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
We have combined sophisticated operant procedures, evolutionary concepts and genetic algorithms to study effects of the perceptual characteristics of predators on the evolution of their prey. We hypothesized that selective attention would bias predators towards the detection of prey similar to those recently encountered. This would favor survival of novel prey types, enhancing the evolution of variability in prey appearance.
In a series of experiments we demonstrated: (1) selective attention is an important component of visual search by predators (“search image”); (2) detection of less common prey was reduced while common prey were detected at high levels (“apostatic selection”); and, (3) selective attention by a predator does, in fact, lead to the evolution of increased variability in prey appearance (polymorphism). This research highlights one way the cognitive abilities of animals play an important role in biological systems.

Determining the crucial contributions made by distinct prefrontal and medial frontal cortical regions to rule-guided decision-making and cognitive control
Dr. Mark J. Buckley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, UK
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are commonly implicated in decision-making. Decisions can operate at many levels. For example, we can decide which item to select, or we can decide which action to make. One part of the PFC, the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), has been closely implicated in contributing to decisions between stimuli, whereas the ACC, part of the medial frontal cortex, has been more closely implicated in contributing to decisions between actions. Yet many forms of decision-making behaviour are more complex than merely choosing between stimuli or choosing between actions and the functional dichotomy outlined above may not be as simple as this. For instance, we are also able to make decisions about which behavioural rules we will adopt. Although there have been advances in our understanding of how rules are represented in the brain, less is known about the precise contributions of the PFC and ACC to rule-based decision-making. Recent lesion studies in macaque monkeys in our laboratories have provided new insights into the distinct and crucial contributions that different sub-regions of PFC and ACC make to rule-guided behaviour and cognitive control.

The Cortex-Basal Ganglia Loop as a Dynamic System: Theoretical and Experimental Approach
Prof. Thomas Boraud
Directeur de Recherch CNRS,
UMR 5227 Laboratoire Mac,
University of Bordeaux 2, France
All animals have evolved rapid and efficient decision-making processes to solve complex and conflicting, sometime life-threatening, chioce situation. Nevertheless, these processes have reached an unprecedented degree of complexity in primates and, amongst them, humans. This has perhaps been at the price of an increased vulnerability to decision-making dysfunctions, as observed in several mental disorders. Because of this link between evolution and complexity of decision-making processes, it has commonly been assumed to be associated with the frontal cortical areas, often considered as the decision-making center of the brain. Here I propose to re-evaluate this concept with an alternative view in which decision-making processes emerge from a distributed process spread through cortical-subcortical loops. I will focus the demonstration on the cortex-basal-ganglia loop and will present behavioral, electrophysiological and fMRI studies in humans and non-human primates using multiple choice paradigms to support this theory.

“Sleep, Neurobehavioral Functioning and ADHD in Children”
Prof. Avi Sadeh
Department of Psychology, Tel Aviv University
and
Director, Adler Center for Research in Child Development and Psychopathology,
Tel Aviv University, Israel
Insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality often lead to behaviors and symptoms associated with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in normal children. These symptoms include compromised neurobehavioral functioning (NBF), inattentiveness and restless behaviors. In children diagnosed with ADHD, sleep complains are very common and objective findings suggest that, in comparison to controls, children with ADHD are more likely to suffer from primary sleep disorders and excessive daytime sleepiness. This overlap between sleep and ADHD suggests that sleep problems or insufficient sleep may play a role as an underlying or exacerbating factor in the etiology of ADHD. The presentation will cover studies demonstrating: (a) the links between sleep and NBF in normal children; (b) the impact of experimental sleep manipulation on NBF in normal children; (c) studies on sleep patterns and sleep disorders in children with ADHD; (d) and a study on the effects of medication for ADHD on sleep.

"Linking action to reward:
multielectrode array recordings from prefrontal cortex"
Prof. William T. Newsome
Depatment of Neurobiology
Stanford University
and
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
**** Abstract ****
To investigate the neural basis of decision-making, we conducted multielectrode array recordings (96 electrodes) from the prearcuate gyrus while rhesus monkeys performed a motion discrimination task. We observed a wide range of visual, memory, and oculomotor signals as reported originally in the classic work of Funahashi and colleagues (J Neurophysiol, 1989), and we observed decision-related signals as reported originally by Kim and Shadlen (Nat Neurosci, 1999). A unique feature of our behavioral paradigm is that the reward was delivered after a variable 1-2 second delay after the monkey's operant response. Surprisingly, the most prominent neural signals we observed in the prearcuate gyrus occurred during this reward-delay period, and appeared to represent a memory of the action executed by the monkey before receiving the reward. These action-memory signals may play an important role in learning by linking a current action to rewards that occur seconds (or perhaps longer) into the future. Standard forms of spike-timing dependent plasticity cannot mediate learning under these circumstances because they only operate over tens of milliseconds at best. Action-memory signals in prefrontal cortex may provide the necessary link between current actions and future rewards, consistent with reinforcement learning theory.

**** Abstract ****
We investigated the nature of information coding in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia of monkeys during inter-temporal choice and computer simulated competitive games. During inter-temporal choice task, monkeys discounted the value of reward according to a hyperbolic function of its delay, and the information about the reward magnitude and delay is transformed in to temporally discounted values in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia. During a biased matching pennies and rock-paper -scissors, many neurons in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia also encoded the signals related to gains and losses resu lting from the animal's choices. These results suggest that the primate corticostriatal network plays a key role in evaluat ing decision outcomes and updating the animal's decision-making strategies.
