Implementation of error-processing in the human anterior cingulate cortex: a source analysis of the magnetic equivalent of the error-related negativity.

چکیده
Recent research has described a component of human electrical brain activity (the ERN or NE) that is associated with error-processing. In the present experiment, we used magneto-encephalographic recordings to provide converging evidence both for the existence of this component and for its putative source in the brain. Six human subjects performed a Go-NoGo task while both magnetoencephalographic and electroencephalographic brain activity were recorded. We found evidence for a magnetic equivalent of the ERN and dipole source analysis suggested that this activity was generated in the anterior cingulate cortex. These data converge with those from electrical recordings in implicating this brain structure in error-processing.

Localization of the magnetic equivalent of the ERN and induced oscillatory brain activity
It has been found in numerous electroencephalographic (EEG) studies that a negative potential arises following an erroneous response (so-called Error-Related Negativity, ERN). This typical component of the EEG has, however, proven more difficult to identify when transferring analogous paradigms to magnetoencephalography (MEG). The aim of this study was to devise and apply a paradigm to elicit e...
متن کاملAre all medial frontal negativities created equal? Toward a richer empirical basis for theories of action monitoring
Theories and empirical studies concerned with the action monitoring functions of the medial frontal cortex have generally assumed that numerous medial frontal negativities--such as the error-related negativity (ERN/Ne), N2, and the negativity elicited by error feedback and monetary losses--all reflect the activity of a common underlying neural generator. Several reports have asserted that the E...
متن کاملApplication of magnetic resonance spectroscopy for evaluating metabolic alteration in anterior cingulate cortex in Alzheimer's disease
Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often the prodromal stage to AD. Most patients with MCI harbor the pathologic changes of AD and demonstrate transition to AD at a rate of 10–15% per year. Accumulating evidence indicates that the asymmetry changes of left and right brain have happened in the early stage of A...
متن کاملDelayed monitoring of accuracy errors compared to commission errors in ACC
Error detection is essential for monitoring performance and preparing subsequent behavioral adjustments, and is associated with specific neural responses in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). To investigate whether different brain mechanisms subserve the processing of commission vs. accuracy errors, we recorded EEG in adult participants while they performed a novel speeded GO-NOGO aiming task...
متن کاملDevelopment of response-monitoring ERPs in 7- to 25-year-olds.
In a target discrimination task, trials with incorrect responses elicit event-related potentials (ERPs) that include an error-related negativity (ERN or Ne) and a later error-positivity (Pe). Substantial evidence points to the anterior cingulate cortex as the source generator of the ERN. We examined the development of ERP component morphology, amplitude and latency to processing of correct and ...
