Perceptual choice boosts network stability: effect of neuromodulation?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recent paper demonstrates that conscious perceptual decisions are characterized by a hallmark of attractor states in recurrent cortical networks: increased stability of cortex-wide activity patterns. We propose that this global cortical state change may be caused by a transient gain modulation through ascending brainstem systems.

Neuromodulation of decision and response selection
We present a model for the attentional neuromodulation of decision and selection processes. The model assumes that phasic responses in the brain nucleus Locus Coeruleus modulate, via the transmission of norepinephrine, the synaptic efficiency of neural circuits, at specific (stimulus and task dependent) time intervals. The model is applied first, to a task of perceptual choice, simulating atten...
متن کاملControlling the Bullwhip Effect in a Supply Chain Network with an Inventory Replenishment Policy by a Robust Control Method
This paper develops a mathematical model using differential equations and considers a bullwhip effect in a supply chain network with multiple retailers and distributors. To ensure the stability of the entire system and reduce the bullwhip effect, a robust control method and an inventory replenishment policy are proposed. This shows that the choice of the output matrix may reduce the bullwhip ef...
متن کاملTimescale and Stability in Adaptive Behaviour
Recently, in both the neuroscience and adaptive behaviour communities, there has been growing interest in the interplay of multiple timescales within neural systems. In particular, the phenomenon of neuromodulation has received a great deal of interest within neuroscience and a growing amount of attention within adaptive behaviour research. This interest has been driven by hypotheses and eviden...
متن کاملThe Effect of Sensory Room Intervention on Perceptual-Cognitive Performance and Psychiatric Status of People with Schizophrenia
Objectives: Individuals with schizophrenia show perceptual-cognitive abnormalities. Besides, depression and anxiety is an integral part of the disease most of the times. People with mental diseases, while under institutional care, experience lack of control and choice in their daily lives. Sensory room is an environment in which individuals can choose, control and explore the stimuli around the...
متن کاملEfficacy of Neuromodulation in Fecal Incontinence in Children; A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background: The results of existing studies regarding the use of neuromodulation in fecal incontinence (FI) are contradictory and therefore, a definitive conclusion cannot be made in this regard. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromodulation in controlling FI in children through a systematic review.Methods: A decision was made to perform the search ...
