Abstract:

Optical and magnetic resonance based imaging methods are uncovering information about brain function and dysfunction with an unprecedented level of detail. Transgenic rodent models have enabled the dissection of neuronal cell-type contributions to vascular responses and hemodynamic imaging in the mammalian brain. These studies motivate the use of high-resolution fMRI for estimating excitatory and inhibitory activity from hemodynamic responses as well as monitoring brain dysfunction in an array of brain diseases. Altogether, these findings continue to support a bright future for fMRI and hemodynamic imaging methods for basic and clinical research studies.

Abstract:

The selection of information from our cluttered sensory environments is one of the most fundamental cognitive operations performed by the primate brain. In the visual domain, the selection process is thought to be mediated by a static spatial mechanism – a ‘spotlight’ that can be flexibly shifted around the visual scene. This spatial search mechanism has been associated with a large-scale network that consists of multiple nodes distributed across all major cortical lobes and also includes subcortical regions. To identify the specific functions of each network node and their functional interactions is a major goal for the field of cognitive neuroscience. In my lecture, I will give an overview on the neural basis of this fundamental cognitive function and discuss recently discovered rhythmic properties that set up alternating attention states.

Abstract:

Network neuroscience is built atop a network model in which cells, populations, and regions are linked to one another via anatomical or functional connections. Historically, this model has been approached from a node-centric perspective, emphasizing features of neural elements: the number of connections they make, their centrality, module affiliation, etc. However, brain networks can also be examined from an edge-centric perspective that explicitly focuses on properties of connections: their material and metabolic costs, the generative processes that govern connection formation and their dynamics across time. In this talk, I will present results from several recent papers and highlight findings and advantages of edge-centric network perspectives compared with traditional node-centric network representations.

Abstract:

Advances in MRI’s instrumentation, data acquisition, and reconstruction algorithms have opened up exciting opportunities for dramatic gains in MR image encoding efficiency, particularly through the use of continuous volumetric data acquisition strategies. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the on-going research in my lab in developing technologies in this direction. The goal of our work has been in moving towards more precise MR imaging, or ‘precision MRI’, where the targets have been in achieving: i) rapid and comprehensive, high-resolution brain exam with a wealth of precise quantitative tissue parameters and multi-tissue compartment information, and ii) high-speed mesoscale structural and functional imaging of the brain, where the imaging can be done precisely, free of the typical distortion and blurring artifacts that have plagued standard EPI and spiral acquisitions.

Synapse dysfunction and loss are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), responsible for its clinical manifestations. Defining the molecular basis for deficits in synapse structure and function are essential for elucidating AD pathogenesis and promise to enhance discovery of effective treatments. Elderly adults with Down syndrome (DS) demonstrate many of the clinical and pathological manifestations of AD; the condition is referred to as AD-DS. While age is an important risk factor for both AD and AD-DS, how age intersects with underlying changes in brain function are unclear. Studies in DS provide an opportunity to decipher the biology that underlies the impact of age on the genetic factor known to be necessary for AD-DS, an increase in APP copy number. Studies of synapse dysfunction and loss are not well investigated in those with AD-DS. We will explore the age by gene interaction through cell biological and in vivo studies in a mouse model and in the AD-DS brain.

Abstract:

The ability to make rapid behavioral adjustments is critical in a dynamic environment, and impaired action control is associated with several neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Rapid action modification and cancellation has been investigated using the stop-signal task and related paradigms. These paradigms require a fast response to a movement cue unless a subsequent signal is presented that instructs participants to inhibit or change the planned movement. Performance on these tasks is modeled as a race between competing STOP and GO processes, which permits an estimation of the time it takes to stop a prepared action—stop-signal reaction time. Using oculomotor versions of such tasks, nonhuman primate studies have investigated the cellular basis of reactive action control and performance monitoring. This body of neurophysiology work provides a firm basis from which to understand the brain circuits supporting reactive action control in humans. In this talk, I will present work that uses fMRI to examine the network involved in rapid cancellation, modification, and monitoring of gaze in humans. In addition, I will present a series of studies indicating reduced efficiency of action cancellation in individuals with schizophrenia that are related to symptoms and functional outcomes and more recent work demonstrating altered activation in a frontobasal network in individuals with schizophrenia while performing a modified oculomotor stop-signal task. Combined, this work provides a link between mechanisms of action control in humans and non-human primates and insights into potential mechanisms of inefficient action control in individuals with schizophrenia.

Title: Protracted Development of Association Cortex in Youth

Abstract: During childhood and adolescence, cortical development progresses from lower-order unimodal cortices to higher-order association cortices. Here we will review recent work from large-scale neuroimaging studies that illustrate how this protracted developmental program endows the brain’s association cortices with unique functional properties to support executive function, but also leaves humans at risk for diverse psychopathologies.

Title: Timescales in Natural and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract: My lab studies how people integrate information over time, as they seek to understand and learn from their environment. Temporal integration is ubiquitous, because our world unfolds over time: hearing a fragment of sound, we perceive it as part of a mockingbird’s melody; reading one word, we understand it as part of a meaningful sentence. The first part of this talk will review empirical findings and computational models describing how regions of the cerebral cortex integrate new input with context from many seconds earlier; we will also examine how and when cortical regions "forget" prior context. The second part of the talk will explore how learning processes are affected by the processing timescales of our brains, and why certain kinds of information tend to linger in our minds.
