Integrated Brain Network Architecture Supports Cognitive Task Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous fluctuations in neural activity and connectivity are thought to support cognition and behavior. In this issue of Neuron, Shine et al. (2016) describe a possible mechanism responsible for fluctuations in the human brain's network architecture that are related to rapid shifts in cognitive state.

Queueing network-adaptive control of thought rational (QN-ACTR): an integrated cognitive architecture for modelling complex cognitive and multi-task performance
How to computationally model human performance in complex cognitive and multi-task scenarios has become an important yet challenging question for human performance modelling and simulation. This paper reports the work that develops an integrated cognitive architecture for this purpose. The resulting architecture – queueing network-adaptive control of thought rational (QN-ACTR) – is an integrati...
متن کاملAssociation of individual resting state EEG alpha frequency and cerebral blood flow
Cognitive task performance differs considerably between individuals. Besides cognitive capacities, attention might be a source of such differences. The individual's EEG alpha frequency (IAF) is a putative marker of the subject's state of arousal and attention, and was found to be associated with task performance and cognitive capacities. However, little is known about the metabolic substrate (i...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Functional Brain Networks: Integrated Network States during Cognitive Task Performance
Higher brain function relies upon the ability to flexibly integrate information across specialized communities of brain regions; however, it is unclear how this mechanism manifests over time. In this study, we used time-resolved network analysis of fMRI data to demonstrate that the human brain traverses between functional states that maximize either segregation into tight-knit communities or in...
متن کاملCausal Relationships Underlying Episodic Memory Network Dynamics in Older Adults
The most reliable finding in functional neuroimaging studies of cognitive aging is a more widespread brain activity pattern in older than younger adults. The additional regions recruited by older adults are functionally connected to core task-network regions, and frequently contribute to task performance in this group, suggesting that older adults may compensate for core task-network deficits b...
متن کاملLong-Term Effects of Attentional Performance on Functional Brain Network Topology
Individuals differ in their cognitive resilience. Less resilient people demonstrate a greater tendency to vigilance decrements within sustained attention tasks. We hypothesized that a period of sustained attention is followed by prolonged changes in the organization of "resting state" brain networks and that individual differences in cognitive resilience are related to differences in post-task ...
