alpha-synuclein accumulation is recognized as a prominent feature in the majority of Parkinson disease cases and also occurs in a broad range of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer disease. It has been shown that alpha-synuclein can spread from a donor cell to neighboring cells and thus propagate cellular damage, antagonizing the effectiveness of therapies such as transplantation of fetal or iPSC derived dopaminergic cells. As we and others previously have shown, insufficient lysosomal function due to genetic mutations or targeted disruption of cathepsin D can cause alpha-synuclein accumulation. We here investigated whether overexpression of cathepsin D or knockout (KO) of the transcriptional suppressor of lysosomal biogenesis ZKSCAN3 can attenuate propagation of alpha-synuclein aggregation and cell death. We examined dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra using stereology of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive cells 4 months and 6 months after intrastriatal injection of alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils or monomeric alpha-synuclein control in control, central nervous system (CNS)-cathepsin D overexpressing and CNS-specific ZKSCAN3 KO mice. We also examined pS129-alpha-synuclein aggregates in the substantia nigra, cortex, amygdala and striatum. The extent of dopaminergic neurodegeneration and pS129-alpha-synuclein aggregation in the brains of CNS-specific ZKSCAN3 knockout mice and CNS-cathepsin D overexpressing mice was similar to that observed in wild-type mice. Our results indicate that neither enhancing cathepsin D expression nor disrupting ZKSCAN3 in the CNS is sufficient to attenuate pS129-alpha-synuclein aggregate accumulation or dopaminergic neurodegeneration.
α-突触核蛋白积聚被认为是大多数帕金森病病例的一个突出特征,也会出现在包括阿尔茨海默病在内的多种神经退行性疾病中。研究表明,α-突触核蛋白可从供体细胞扩散到邻近细胞,从而传播细胞损伤,影响移植胎儿或 iPSC 衍生多巴胺能细胞等疗法的效果。正如我们和其他研究人员先前所显示的,由于基因突变或靶向干扰cathepsin D而导致溶酶体功能不足,可引起α-突触核蛋白的积累。我们在此研究了过表达 cathepsin D 或敲除(KO)溶酶体生物发生的转录抑制因子 ZKSCAN3 是否能减轻α-突触核蛋白聚集的传播和细胞死亡。我们在对照组、中枢神经系统(CNS)-酪蛋白酶D过表达组和中枢神经系统特异性ZKSCAN3 KO小鼠椎管内注射α-突触核蛋白预成纤维或单体α-突触核蛋白对照组4个月和6个月后,使用酪氨酸羟化酶免疫反应细胞的立体学方法检测了黑质中的多巴胺能神经变性。我们还检测了黑质、皮层、杏仁核和纹状体中的α-突触核蛋白聚合体。中枢神经系统特异性 ZKSCAN3 基因敲除小鼠和中枢神经系统酪蛋白酶 D 过表达小鼠大脑中多巴胺能神经变性和 pS129-α-synuclein 聚集的程度与野生型小鼠相似。我们的研究结果表明,在中枢神经系统中增强酪蛋白酶 D 的表达或破坏 ZKSCAN3 都不足以减轻 pS129-α-synuclein 聚集的积累或多巴胺能神经退行性变。

Ample studies attribute cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease to amyloid-β deposition 1-6. However, brain amyloid-β accumulation that saturates years before the manifestation of clinical symptoms is dissociated with cognitive decline of the disease 7. It is unknown how these two processes are mechanistically linked. In this and our accompanied study, we report that thiamine pyrophosphokinase-1 (TPK) deficiency plays essential roles in both processes via distinct mechanisms. Here we describe that diminished microglia Tpk controls the propagation of amyloid-β plaques. In APP/PS1 transgenic mice, microglia showed elevated Tpk expression at 2-month-old, but reduction in a plaque-centric manner at 8-month-old. Interestingly, lipopolysaccharide, but not amyloid-β, induceed Tpk reduction in cultured microglia. Tpk reduction led to microglia dysfunction, showing volatile motility but reduced phagocytosis and weak response to focal tissue injury, with accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets and abnormal mitochrondria. In Alzheimer's disease mice, microglia-specific knockout of Tpk caused diminished plaque coverage, exacerbated plaque burden and synaptic loss. However, increased plaques were not accompanied by the development of neurofibrillary tangles or brain atrophy, in contrast to the phenotype described in our accompanied paper with neuronal Tpk deletion. In conclusion, plaque-induced inflammation reduces Tpk in microglia, selectively exacerbating the spread of amyloid pathology.
大量研究将阿尔茨海默病认知能力下降归因于淀粉样蛋白-β沉积1-6。然而,大脑中淀粉样蛋白-β的积累在临床症状出现前数年就已达到饱和,这与该病认知能力的下降并不相关7。目前尚不清楚这两个过程之间的机理联系。在本研究和我们的相关研究中,我们报告了硫胺素焦磷激酶-1(TPK)的缺乏通过不同的机制在这两个过程中发挥着重要作用。在这里,我们描述了小胶质细胞 Tpk 的减少控制了淀粉样蛋白-β 斑块的传播。在APP/PS1转基因小鼠中,小胶质细胞在2月龄时Tpk表达升高,但在8月龄时以斑块为中心的方式减少。有趣的是,脂多糖(而非淀粉样蛋白-β)会诱导培养的小胶质细胞中的Tpk减少。Tpk 减少会导致小胶质细胞功能障碍,表现出波动性运动,但吞噬能力降低,对局灶性组织损伤反应微弱,细胞内脂滴和线粒体异常堆积。在阿尔茨海默病小鼠中,小胶质细胞特异性敲除 Tpk 会导致斑块覆盖率降低、斑块负担加重和突触丧失。然而,斑块的增加并没有伴随着神经纤维缠结或脑萎缩的发展,这与我们的相关论文中描述的神经元Tpk缺失的表型形成了鲜明对比。总之,斑块诱导的炎症会降低小胶质细胞中的Tpk,从而选择性地加剧淀粉样病理的扩散。

We report the first application of diffusion tractography to a mysticete, which was analyzed alongside three odontocete brains, allowing the first direct comparison of strength and laterality of auditory pathways in echolocating and non-echolocating whales. Brains were imaged post-mortem at high resolution with a specialized steady state free precession diffusion sequence optimized for dead tissue. We conducted probabilistic tractography to compare the qualitative features, tract strength, and lateralization of potential ascending and descending auditory paths in the mysticete versus odontocetes. Tracts were seeded in the inferior colliculi (IC), a nexus for ascending auditory information, and the cerebellum, a center for sensorimotor integration. Direct IC to temporal lobe pathways were found in all animals, replicating previous cetacean tractography and suggesting conservation of the primary auditory projection path in the cetacean clade. Additionally, odontocete IC-cerebellum pathways exhibited higher overall tract strength than in the mysticete, suggesting a role as descending acousticomotor tracts supporting the rapid sensorimotor integration demands of echolocation. Further, in the mysticete, contralateral right IC to left cerebellum pathways were 17x stronger than those between left IC and right cerebellum, while in odontocetes, the laterality was reversed, and left IC to right cerebellum pathways were 2-4x stronger than those between right IC and left cerebellum. The stronger left IC-right cerebellum connectivity observed in odontocetes corroborates the theory that odontocetes preferentially echolocate with their right phonic lips, as the right phonic lips are likely innervated by left-cortical motor efferents that integrate with left-cortical auditory afferents in right cerebellum. This interpretation is further supported by the reversed lateralization of IC-cerebellar tracts observed in the non-echolocating mysticete. We also found differences in the specific subregions of cerebellum targeted by the IC, both between the mysticete and odontocetes, and between left and right sides. This study establishes foundational knowledge on mysticete auditory connectivity and extends knowledge on the neural basis of echolocation in odontocetes.
我们报告了首次将扩散束成像技术应用于神秘鲸类的情况,并将其与三只齿鲸的大脑一起进行了分析,从而首次直接比较了回声定位和非回声定位鲸类听觉通路的强度和侧向性。大脑在死后用专门的稳态自由前序扩散序列进行了高分辨率成像,该序列针对死亡组织进行了优化。我们进行了概率束成像,以比较神秘鲸和齿鲸潜在的上升和下降听觉路径的质量特征、束强度和侧化。在下侧副会厌(IC)和小脑(感知运动整合中心)中播下了音道种子,下侧副会厌是上升听觉信息的连接点。在所有动物中都发现了 IC 到颞叶的直接通路,这与之前的鲸类牵引图相同,并表明鲸类的主要听觉投射路径保持不变。此外,齿鲸的集成电路-小脑通路显示出比神秘鲸更高的总体束强度,表明其作为下行声运动束的作用是支持回声定位的快速感觉运动整合需求。此外,在神秘目动物中,对侧右侧集成电路到左侧小脑的通路强度是左侧集成电路到右侧小脑的通路强度的17倍,而在齿兽中,侧向性则相反,左侧集成电路到右侧小脑的通路强度是右侧集成电路到左侧小脑的通路强度的2-4倍。在齿鲸中观察到的左侧集成电路与右侧小脑之间更强的连接性证实了齿鲸优先使用右侧音唇进行回声定位的理论,因为右侧音唇很可能受左侧皮层运动传出神经的支配,这些传出神经与右侧小脑中的左侧皮层听觉传入神经整合在一起。在无回声定位的神秘侏儒身上观察到的集成电路-小脑束的反向侧化进一步支持了这一解释。我们还发现,IC所针对的小脑特定亚区存在差异,这既存在于神秘鳕和奥齿鳕之间,也存在于左右两侧之间。这项研究建立了神秘腹足类听觉连接的基础知识,并扩展了有关齿鲸回声定位神经基础的知识。

Neural circuits in the spinal cord are composed of diverse sets of interneurons that play crucial roles in shaping motor output. Despite progress in revealing the cellular architecture of the spinal cord, the extent of cell type heterogeneity within interneuron populations remains unclear. Here, we present a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of spinal V1 interneurons across postnatal development. We find that the core molecular taxonomy distinguishing neonatal V1 interneurons perdures into adulthood, suggesting conservation of function across development. Moreover, we identify a key role for En1, a transcription factor that marks the V1 population, in specifying one unique subset of V1-Pou6f2 interneurons. Loss of En1 selectively disrupts the frequency of rhythmic locomotor output but does not disrupt flexion/extension limb movement. Beyond serving as a molecular resource for this neuronal population, our study highlights how deep neuronal profiling provides an entry point for functional studies of specialized cell types in motor output.
脊髓中的神经回路由多种多样的中间神经元组成,它们在形成运动输出方面发挥着至关重要的作用。尽管在揭示脊髓细胞结构方面取得了进展,但中间神经元群内细胞类型异质性的程度仍不清楚。在这里,我们展示了脊髓 V1 中间神经元在整个出生后发育过程中的单核转录组图谱。我们发现,区分新生儿 V1 神经元的核心分子分类法一直持续到成年期,这表明整个发育过程中的功能保持不变。此外,我们还发现 En1(一种标记 V1 群体的转录因子)在指定 V1-Pou6f2 中间神经元的一个独特亚群方面起着关键作用。En1的缺失会选择性地破坏有节律的运动输出频率,但不会破坏屈伸肢体运动。除了作为该神经元群的分子资源外,我们的研究还强调了深度神经元谱分析如何为运动输出中特化细胞类型的功能研究提供切入点。

Mendoza-Halliday, Major et al. 2024 ("The Paper") advocates a local field potential (LFP)-based approach to functional identification of cortical layers during "laminar" (simultaneous recordings from all cortical layers) multielectrode recordings in nonhuman primates (NHPs). The Paper describes a "ubiquitous spectrolaminar motif" in the primate neocortex: 1) 75-150 Hz power peaks in the supragranular layers, 2) 10-19 Hz power peaks in the infragranular layers and 3) the crossing point of their laminar power gradients identifies layer 4 (L4). Identification of L4 is critical in general, but especially for The Paper as the "motif" discovery is couched within a framework whose central hypothesis is that gamma activity originates in the supragranular layers and reflects feedforward activity, while alpha-beta activity originates in the infragranular layers and reflects feedback activity. In an impressive scientific effort, The Paper analyzed laminar data from 14 cortical areas in 2 prior macaque studies and compared them to marmoset, mouse and human data to further bolster the canonical nature of the motif. Identification of such canonical principles of brain operation is clearly a topic of broad scientific interest. Similarly, a reliable online method for L4 identification would be of broad scientific value for the rapidly increasing use of laminar recordings using numerous evolving technologies. Despite The Paper's strengths, and its potential for scientific impact, a series of concerns that are fundamental to the analysis and interpretation of laminar activity profile data in general, and local field potential (LFP) signals in particular, led us to question its conclusions. We thus evaluated the generality of The Paper's methods and findings using new sets of data comprised of stimulus-evoked laminar response profiles from primary and higher-order auditory cortices (A1 and belt cortex), and primary visual cortex (V1). The rationale for using these areas as a test bed for new methods is that their laminar anatomy and physiology have already been extensively characterized by prior studies, and there is general agreement across laboratories on key matters like L4 identification. Our analyses indicate that The Paper's findings do to generalize well to any of these cortical areas. In particular, we find The Paper's methods for L4 identification to be unreliable. Moreover, both methodological and statistical concerns, outlined below and in the supplement, question the stated prevalence of the motif in The Paper's published dataset. After summarizing our findings and related broader concerns, we briefly critique the evidence from biophysical modeling studies cited to support The Paper's conclusions. While our findings are at odds with the proposition of a ubiquitous spectrolaminar motif in the primate neocortex, The Paper already has, and will continue to spark debate and further experimentation. Hopefully this countervailing presentation will lead to rob
Mendoza-Halliday, Major 等人 2024 年发表的论文("论文")主张在非人灵长类(NHPs)的 "层状"(同时记录所有皮质层)多电极记录过程中,采用基于局部场电位(LFP)的方法对皮质层进行功能识别。论文描述了灵长类动物新皮层中 "无处不在的谱层图案":1)上颅层中的 75-150 Hz 功率峰值;2)下颅层中的 10-19 Hz 功率峰值;3)它们的层状功率梯度的交叉点确定了第 4 层 (L4)。L4 的识别在一般情况下至关重要,但对于《论文》来说尤其如此,因为 "图案 "的发现是在一个框架内进行的,该框架的核心假设是伽马活动起源于颅上层,反映的是前馈活动,而阿尔法-贝塔活动起源于颅下层,反映的是反馈活动。在一项令人印象深刻的科研工作中,论文分析了之前两项猕猴研究中 14 个皮层区域的层状数据,并将其与狨猴、小鼠和人类的数据进行了比较,从而进一步证实了该图案的典型性。识别大脑运行的这种典型原理显然是一个具有广泛科学意义的课题。同样,一种可靠的在线 L4 识别方法对于使用众多不断发展的技术快速增加层状记录的使用具有广泛的科学价值。尽管《论文》有其优势和产生科学影响的潜力,但在分析和解释层状活动轮廓数据,特别是局部场电位(LFP)信号时,一系列基本问题让我们对其结论产生了质疑。因此,我们使用由初级和高阶听觉皮层(A1 和带皮层)以及初级视觉皮层(V1)的刺激诱发层状反应曲线组成的新数据集,对论文方法和结论的通用性进行了评估。使用这些区域作为新方法的试验台的理由是,先前的研究已经广泛描述了这些区域的皮层解剖学和生理学特征,而且各实验室在 L4 识别等关键问题上达成了普遍一致。我们的分析表明,《论文》的研究结果并不能很好地推广到这些皮层区域中的任何一个。特别是,我们发现论文中关于 L4 识别的方法并不可靠。此外,下文和补编中概述的方法学和统计学方面的问题也对论文发表的数据集中所述的图案的普遍性提出了质疑。在总结了我们的发现和相关的广泛关注之后,我们简要批评了为支持论文结论而引用的生物物理建模研究证据。虽然我们的发现与灵长类动物新皮层中无处不在的谱层图案这一命题不符,但该论文已经并将继续引发争论和进一步的实验。希望这一反驳性的观点能促使大家共同努力,确定在未来研究中应用层状记录方法的最佳策略。

After summarizing our findings and related broader concerns, we briefly critique the evidence from biophysical modeling studies cited to support The Paper's conclusions. While our findings are at odds with the proposition of a ubiquitous spectrolaminar motif in the primate neocortex, The Paper already has, and will continue to spark debate and further experimentation.

This study aims to investigate the impact of vocabulary acquisition through short-term classroom learning and its relation to broader forms of vocabulary learning through long-term exposure in daily life. Through a two week of "learning sprint" in collaboration with a local elementary school and EEG-Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (EEG SSVEP) paradigm, we assessed new vocabulary learning in first and second graders within their pedagogical environment. We then compared the results with the word frequency effect, a well-established phenonmenon that reflects long-term vocabulary learning. After two weeks of classroom instruction, newly acquired words elicited neural responses similar to those of high-frequency words, with the effect significantly correlated with children's phonological decoding skills. Additionally, we successfully replicated the word frequency effect using the SSVEP paradigm for the first time. These findings highlight the potential of the "learning sprint" model for conducting neuroscience research in authentic educational settings, thereby fostering a stronger connection between education and neuroscience.
本研究旨在探究通过短期课堂学习获得词汇的影响,及其与在日常生活中长期接触词汇的更广泛词汇学习形式之间的关系。我们与当地一所小学合作,通过为期两周的 "学习冲刺 "和脑电图-稳态视觉诱发电位(EEG SSVEP)范式,评估了一年级和二年级学生在其教学环境中的新词汇学习情况。然后,我们将结果与词频效应进行了比较,词频效应是一种反映长期词汇学习的成熟现象。经过两周的课堂教学后,新学单词引起的神经反应与高频单词的神经反应相似,而且这种效应与儿童的语音解码技能有明显的相关性。此外,我们还首次使用 SSVEP 范式成功地复制了词频效应。这些发现凸显了 "学习冲刺 "模式在真实教育环境中开展神经科学研究的潜力,从而促进教育与神经科学之间更紧密的联系。

The basal ganglia control multiple sensorimotor behaviors though anatomically segregated and topographically organized subcircuits with outputs to specific downstream circuits. However, it is unclear how the anatomical organization of basal ganglia output circuits relates to the molecular diversity of cell types. Here, we demonstrate that the major output nucleus of the basal ganglia, the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) is comprised of transcriptomically distinct subclasses that reflect its distinct progenitor lineages. We show that these subclasses are topographically organized within SNr, project to distinct targets in the midbrain and hindbrain, and receive inputs from different striatal subregions. Finally, we show that these mouse subclasses are also identifiable in human SNr neurons, suggesting that the genetic organization of SNr is evolutionarily conserved. These findings provide a unifying logic for how the developmental specification of diverse SNr neurons relates to the anatomical organization of basal ganglia circuits controlling specialized downstream brain regions.
基底节通过解剖学上分离和地形学上组织的子回路控制多种感觉运动行为,并输出到特定的下游回路。然而,基底节输出回路的解剖组织与细胞类型的分子多样性之间的关系尚不清楚。在这里,我们证明了基底节的主要输出核--黑质网状旁(SNr)由转录组学上不同的亚类组成,这些亚类反映了其不同的祖系。我们的研究表明,这些亚类在黑质网状突起内具有拓扑结构,投射到中脑和后脑的不同靶点,并接受来自不同纹状体亚区的输入。最后,我们还表明,这些小鼠亚类在人类 SNr 神经元中也是可以识别的,这表明 SNr 的遗传组织在进化过程中是保守的。这些发现提供了一个统一的逻辑,说明了不同的SNr神经元的发育规格如何与控制特化下游脑区的基底节回路的解剖组织相关联。

The relationships between facial expression and color affect human cognition functions such as perception and memory. However, whether these relationships influence attention remains unclear. Additionally, whether facial expressions affect selective attention is unknown; for example, reddish angry faces increase negative social evaluation or emotion intensity, but it is unclear whether selective attention is similarly enhanced. To investigate these questions, we examined whether event-related potentials for faces vary depending on facial expression and color by recording electroencephalography (EEG) data. We conducted an oddball task using stimuli that combined facial expressions (angry, neutral) and facial colors (original, red, green). The participants counted the number of times a rarely appearing target face stimulus appeared among the standard face stimuli. The results indicated that the difference in P3 amplitudes for the target and standard faces depended on the combinations of facial expressions and facial colors; the P3 amplitudes for red angry faces were greater than those for red neutral faces. Additionally, there was no significant main effect or interaction effect of facial expression or facial color on P1 amplitudes for the target, and there were significant main effects of facial expression only on the N170 amplitude. These findings suggest that the intensity of a human's selective attention to facial expressions varies according to the higher-order semantic processing of the relationship between emotion and color rather than simple facial expression or facial color effects individually. Our results support the idea that red color increases the human response to anger from an EEG perspective.
面部表情和颜色之间的关系会影响人类的认知功能,如感知和记忆。然而,这些关系是否会影响注意力仍不清楚。此外,面部表情是否会影响选择性注意也是个未知数;例如,红色的愤怒面孔会增加负面的社会评价或情绪强度,但选择性注意是否会同样得到增强还不清楚。为了探究这些问题,我们通过记录脑电图(EEG)数据,研究了人脸的事件相关电位是否会因面部表情和颜色的不同而变化。我们使用结合了面部表情(愤怒、中性)和面部颜色(原色、红色、绿色)的刺激物进行了一项古怪的任务。参与者计算标准面部刺激中很少出现的目标面部刺激出现的次数。结果表明,目标面孔和标准面孔的 P3 振幅差异取决于面部表情和面部颜色的组合;红色愤怒面孔的 P3 振幅大于红色中性面孔的 P3 振幅。此外,面部表情或面部颜色对目标面孔的 P1 波幅没有显著的主效应或交互效应,而面部表情仅对 N170 波幅有显著的主效应。这些研究结果表明,人类对面部表情的选择性注意强度是根据对情绪和颜色之间关系的高阶语义加工而变化的,而不是简单的面部表情或面部颜色的单独效应。我们的研究结果支持这样一种观点,即从脑电图的角度来看,红色会增加人类对愤怒的反应。

INTRODUCTION:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Although traditional methods have provided insights into brain dynamics in AD, they have limitations in capturing non-equilibrium dynamics across disease stages. Recent studies suggest that dynamic functional connectivity in resting-state networks (RSNs) may serve as a biomarker for AD, but the role of deviations from dynamical equilibrium remains underexplored.OBJECTIVE:This study applies the off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) [Monti2024] to analyze brain dynamics in AD, aiming to compare deviations from equilibrium in healthy controls, patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and those with AD. The goal is to identify potential biomarkers for early AD detection and understand disease progression's mechanisms.METHODS: We employed a model-free approach based on FDT to analyze functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, including healthy controls, MCI patients, and AD patients. Deviations from equilibrium in resting-state brain activity were quantified using fMRI scans. In addition, we performed model-based simulations incorporating Amyloid-Beta (ABeta), tau burdens, and Generative Effective Connectivity (GEC) for each subject.RESULTS:Our findings show that deviations from equilibrium increase during the MCI stage, indicating hyperexcitability, followed by a significant decline in later stages of AD, reflecting neuronal damage. Model-based simulations incorporating ABeta and tau burdens closely replicated these dynamics, especially in AD patients, highlighting their role in disease progression. Healthy controls exhibited lower deviations, while AD patients showed the most significant disruptions in brain dynamics.DISCUSSION:The study demonstrates that the off-equilibrium FDT framework can accurately characterize brain dynamics in AD, providing a potential biomarker for early detection. The increase in non-equilibrium deviations during the MCI stage followed by their decline in AD offers a mechanistic explanation for disease progression. Future research should explore how combining this framework with other dynamic brain measures could further refine diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.
简介:阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种神经退行性疾病,其特征是认知能力逐渐下降。虽然传统方法可以深入了解阿尔茨海默病的大脑动态变化,但在捕捉疾病不同阶段的非平衡动态变化方面存在局限性。最近的研究表明,静息态网络(RSN)中的动态功能连通性可作为AD的生物标志物,但偏离动态平衡的作用仍未得到充分探索。目的:本研究应用非平衡波动-耗散定理(FDT)[Monti2024]分析AD的大脑动态,旨在比较健康对照组、轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者和AD患者偏离平衡的情况。方法:我们采用基于 FDT 的无模型方法分析功能磁共振成像(fMRI)数据,包括健康对照组、MCI 患者和 AD 患者。利用 fMRI 扫描量化静息态大脑活动的平衡偏差。结果:我们的研究结果表明,偏离平衡的情况在 MCI 阶段会增加,表明神经兴奋性过高,随后在 AD 后期会显著下降,反映出神经元损伤。基于模型的模拟结合了 ABeta 和 tau 负担,密切复制了这些动态,尤其是在 AD 患者中,突出了它们在疾病进展中的作用。健康对照组表现出较低的偏差,而注意力缺失症患者的大脑动力学则表现出最显著的破坏。讨论:该研究表明,非平衡FDT框架能准确描述注意力缺失症患者的大脑动力学特征,为早期检测提供了潜在的生物标记。非平衡偏差在 MCI 阶段增加,随后在 AD 阶段下降,这为疾病的进展提供了机理解释。未来的研究应探索如何将这一框架与其他大脑动态测量相结合,进一步完善针对AD和其他神经退行性疾病的诊断工具和治疗策略。

Anisotropy of object non-rigidity: High-level perceptual consequences of cortical anisotropy 物体非刚性的各向异性:大脑皮层各向异性的高级感知后果

This study presents instances where variations in a complex, higher-level perceptual phenomenon- an anisotropy in object non-rigidity is explained by the distribution of low-level neural properties in the primary visual cortex. Specifically, we examine the visual interpretation of two rigidly connected rotating circular rings. At speeds where observers predominantly perceive rigid rotation of the rings rotating horizontally, observers perceive only non-rigid wobbling when the image is rotated by 90°. Additionally, vertically rotating rings appear narrower and longer compared to their physically identical horizontally rotating counterparts. We show that these perceived shape changes can be decoded from V1 outputs by considering anisotropies in orientation-selective cells. We then empirically demonstrate that even when the vertically rotating ellipses are widened or the horizontally rotating ellipses are elongated so that the shapes match, the perceived difference in non-rigidity is reduced only by a small amount and increased non-rigidity persists in vertical rotations, suggesting that motion mechanisms also play a role. By incorporating cortical anisotropies into optic flow computations, we show that motion gradients for vertical rotations align more with physical non-rigidity, while horizontal rotations align closer to rigidity, indicating that cortical anisotropies contribute to the heightened perception of non-rigidity when orientation shifts from horizontal to vertical. The study underscores the importance of low-level anisotropies in shaping high-level percepts and raises questions about their evolutionary significance, particularly for shape constancy and motion perception.
本研究通过初级视觉皮层中低级神经特性的分布来解释复杂的高级感知现象--物体非刚性的各向异性--的变化。具体来说,我们研究了两个刚性连接的旋转圆环的视觉解释。在观察者主要感知水平旋转圆环的刚性旋转的速度下,当图像旋转 90° 时,观察者仅感知到非刚性晃动。此外,垂直旋转的圆环与物理上完全相同的水平旋转圆环相比,显得更窄、更长。我们的研究表明,通过考虑方向选择性细胞的各向异性,可以从 V1 输出中解码这些感知到的形状变化。然后,我们通过经验证明,即使垂直旋转的椭圆被拉宽或水平旋转的椭圆被拉长,从而使形状相匹配,感知到的非刚性差异也只减少了很小一部分,而垂直旋转时的非刚性增加仍然存在,这表明运动机制也在发挥作用。通过将皮层各向异性纳入视流计算,我们发现垂直旋转的运动梯度更接近于物理非刚性,而水平旋转则更接近于刚性,这表明当方向从水平转向垂直时,皮层各向异性有助于提高非刚性感知。这项研究强调了低级各向异性在形成高级感知方面的重要性,并提出了有关其进化意义的问题,尤其是对形状恒定性和运动感知的意义。
