Distinct dynamics of ramping activity in the frontal cortex and caudate nucleus in monkeys.
The prefronto-striatal network is involved in many cognitive functions, including perceptual decision making and reward-modulated behaviors. For well-trained subjects, neural responses frequently show similar patterns in the prefrontal cortex and striatum, making it difficult to tease apart distinct regional contributions. Here I show that, despite similar mean firing rate patterns, prefrontal ...
متن کاملIndividual differences in risk preference predict neural responses during financial decision-making.
We investigated the neural correlates of subjective valuations during a task involving risky choices about lotteries. Because expected value was held constant across all lotteries, decisions were influenced by subjective preferences, which manifest behaviorally as risk-seeking or risk-averse attitudes. To isolate structures encoding risk preference during choice, we probed for areas showing inc...
متن کاملEffect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain
Objective(s): Studies have mainly assessed the effect of hyperglycemia on18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the brain. In this study, we assessed the FDG uptake of the brain not only in normo- and hyperglycemia but also in hypoglycemia to compare the effect of various blood glucose levels on regional FDG uptake in the brain. Methods: </...
متن کاملTherapeutic Potential of Cord Blood Stem Cell in Brain Damage of an Animal Model
Purpose: At the present time the role of stem cells and its therapeutic effects is well known. Human or animal (bone marrow or cord blood) stem cells in stem cell therapy are a promising attempt to improve the recovery after post embryonic injuries. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out on young Wistar rats. At first, cord blood stem cells (CBSCs) were isolated, and labeled w...
متن کاملComparative diffusion tractography of corticostriatal motor pathways reveals differences between humans and macaques.
The primate corticobasal ganglia circuits are understood to be segregated into parallel anatomically and functionally distinct loops. Anatomical and physiological studies in macaque monkeys are summarized as showing that an oculomotor loop begins with projections from the frontal eye fields (FEF) to the caudate nucleus, and a motor loop begins with projections from the primary motor cortex (M1)...
