Consciousness at the edge of chaos

Over the last 20 years, neuroimaging and electrophysiology techniques have become central to understanding the mechanisms that accompany loss and recovery of consciousness. Much of this research is performed in the context of healthy individuals with neurotypical brain dynamics. Yet, a true understanding of how consciousness emerges from the joint action of neurons has to account for how severely pathological brains, often showing phenotypes typical of unconsciousness, can nonetheless generate a subjective viewpoint. In this presentation, I will start from the context of Disorders of Consciousness and will discuss recent work aimed at finding generalizable signatures of consciousness that are reliable across a spectrum of brain electrophysiological phenotypes focusing in particular on the notion of edge-of-chaos criticality.

The brain activity of premature infants and fetuses is composed of periods of rest and bursts. These bursts can be measured using EEG for premature infants and MEG for fetuses. It has already been determined that the proportion of bursts changes with the gestational age of the child. The objective of the internship is to compare the bursts of activity between premature babies and fetuses by performing the following tasks: - Bibliographic analysis of bursts of EEG activity in premature babies and MEG in fetuses - Feature extraction of bursts and inter-bursts - Analysis and comparison of the characteristics obtained

Developmental and evolutionary perspectives on thalamic function

Brain organization and function is a complex topic. We are good at establishing correlates of perception and behavior across forebrain circuits, as well as manipulating activity in these circuits to affect behavior. However, we still lack good models for the large-scale organization and function of the forebrain. What are the contributions of the cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus to behavior? In addressing these questions, we often ascribe function to each area as if it were an independent processing unit. However, we know from the anatomy that the cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus, are massively interconnected in a large network. One way to generate insight into these questions is to consider the evolution and development of forebrain systems. In this talk, I will discuss the developmental and evolutionary (comparative anatomy) data on the thalamus, and how it fits within forebrain networks. I will address questions including, when did the thalamus appear in evolution, how is the thalamus organized across the vertebrate lineage, and how can the change in the organization of forebrain networks affect behavioral repertoires.

Functional Plasticity in the Language Network – evidence from Neuroimaging and Neurostimulation

Efficient cognition requires flexible interactions between distributed neural networks in the human brain. These networks adapt to challenges by flexibly recruiting different regions and connections. In this talk, I will discuss how we study functional network plasticity and reorganization with combined neurostimulation and neuroimaging across the adult life span. I will argue that short-term plasticity enables flexible adaptation to challenges, via functional reorganization. My key hypothesis is that disruption of higher-level cognitive functions such as language can be compensated for by the recruitment of domain-general networks in our brain. Examples from healthy young brains illustrate how neurostimulation can be used to temporarily interfere with efficient processing, probing short-term network plasticity at the systems level. Examples from people with dyslexia help to better understand network disorders in the language domain and outline the potential of facilitatory neurostimulation for treatment. I will also discuss examples from aging brains where plasticity helps to compensate for loss of function. Finally, examples from lesioned brains after stroke provide insight into the brain’s potential for long-term reorganization and recovery of function. Collectively, these results challenge the view of a modular organization of the human brain and argue for a flexible redistribution of function via systems plasticity.

Influence of the context of administration in the antidepressant-like effects of the psychedelic 5-MeO-DMT

Psychedelics like psilocybin have shown rapid and long-lasting efficacy on depressive and anxiety symptoms. Other psychedelics with shorter half-lives, such as DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, have also shown promising preliminary outcomes in major depression, making them interesting candidates for clinical practice. Despite several promising clinical studies, the influence of the context on therapeutic responses or adverse effects remains poorly documented. To address this, we conducted preclinical studies evaluating the psychopharmacological profile of 5-MeO-DMT in contexts previously validated in mice as either pleasant (positive setting) or aversive (negative setting). Healthy C57BL/6J male mice received a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 5-MeO-DMT at doses of 0.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg, with assessments at 2 hours, 24 hours, and one week post-administration. In a corticosterone (CORT) mouse model of depression, 5-MeO-DMT was administered in different settings, and behavioral tests mimicking core symptoms of depression and anxiety were conducted. In CORT-exposed mice, an acute dose of 0.5 mg/kg administered in a neutral setting produced antidepressant-like effects at 24 hours, as observed by reduced immobility time in the Tail Suspension Test (TST). In a positive setting, the drug also reduced latency to first immobility and total immobility time in the TST. However, these beneficial effects were negated in a negative setting, where 5-MeO-DMT failed to produce antidepressant-like effects and instead elicited an anxiogenic response in the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM).Our results indicate a strong influence of setting on the psychopharmacological profile of 5-MeO-DMT. Future experiments will examine cortical markers of pre- and post-synaptic density to correlate neuroplasticity changes with the behavioral effects of 5-MeO-DMT in different settings.

Neural mechanisms governing the learning and execution of avoidance behavior

The nervous system orchestrates adaptive behaviors by intricately coordinating responses to internal cues and environmental stimuli. This involves integrating sensory input, managing competing motivational states, and drawing on past experiences to anticipate future outcomes. While traditional models attribute this complexity to interactions between the mesocorticolimbic system and hypothalamic centers, the specific nodes of integration have remained elusive. Recent research, including our own, sheds light on the midline thalamus's overlooked role in this process. We propose that the midline thalamus integrates internal states with memory and emotional signals to guide adaptive behaviors. Our investigations into midline thalamic neuronal circuits have provided crucial insights into the neural mechanisms behind flexibility and adaptability. Understanding these processes is essential for deciphering human behavior and conditions marked by impaired motivation and emotional processing. Our research aims to contribute to this understanding, paving the way for targeted interventions and therapies to address such impairments.

Preserving microbial diversity as a keystone of human and planetary health

Brain-heart interactions at the edges of consciousness

Various clinical cases have provided evidence linking cardiovascular, neurological, and psychiatric disorders to changes in the brain-heart interaction. Our recent experimental evidence on patients with disorders of consciousness revealed that observing brain-heart interactions helps to detect residual consciousness, even in patients with absence of behavioral signs of consciousness. Those findings support hypotheses suggesting that visceral activity is involved in the neurobiology of consciousness and sum to the existing evidence in healthy participants in which the neural responses to heartbeats reveal perceptual and self-consciousness. Furthermore, the presence of non-linear, complex, and bidirectional communication between brain and heartbeat dynamics can provide further insights into the physiological state of the patient following severe brain injury. These developments on methodologies to analyze brain-heart interactions open new avenues for understanding neural functioning at a large-scale level, uncovering that peripheral bodily activity can influence brain homeostatic processes, cognition, and behavior.

Event-related frequency adjustment (ERFA): A methodology for investigating neural entrainment

Neural entrainment has become a phenomenon of exceptional interest to neuroscience, given its involvement in rhythm perception, production, and overt synchronized behavior. Yet, traditional methods fail to quantify neural entrainment due to a misalignment with its fundamental definition (e.g., see Novembre and Iannetti, 2018; Rajandran and Schupp, 2019). The definition of entrainment assumes that endogenous oscillatory brain activity undergoes dynamic frequency adjustments to synchronize with environmental rhythms (Lakatos et al., 2019). Following this definition, we recently developed a method sensitive to this process. Our aim was to isolate from the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal an oscillatory component that is attuned to the frequency of a rhythmic stimulation, hypothesizing that the oscillation would adaptively speed up and slow down to achieve stable synchronization over time. To induce and measure these adaptive changes in a controlled fashion, we developed the event-related frequency adjustment (ERFA) paradigm (Rosso et al., 2023). A total of twenty healthy participants took part in our study. They were instructed to tap their finger synchronously with an isochronous auditory metronome, which was unpredictably perturbed by phase-shifts and tempo-changes in both positive and negative directions across different experimental conditions. EEG was recorded during the task, and ERFA responses were quantified as changes in instantaneous frequency of the entrained component. Our results indicate that ERFAs track the stimulus dynamics in accordance with the perturbation type and direction, preferentially for a sensorimotor component. The clear and consistent patterns confirm that our method is sensitive to the process of frequency adjustment that defines neural entrainment. In this Virtual Journal Club, the discussion of our findings will be complemented by methodological insights beneficial to researchers in the fields of rhythm perception and production, as well as timing in general. We discuss the dos and don’ts of using instantaneous frequency to quantify oscillatory dynamics, the advantages of adopting a multivariate approach to source separation, the robustness against the confounder of responses evoked by periodic stimulation, and provide an overview of domains and concrete examples where the methodological framework can be applied.

Virtual Brain Twins for Brain Medicine and Epilepsy

Over the past decade we have demonstrated that the fusion of subject-specific structural information of the human brain with mathematical dynamic models allows building biologically realistic brain network models, which have a predictive value, beyond the explanatory power of each approach independently. The network nodes hold neural population models, which are derived using mean field techniques from statistical physics expressing ensemble activity via collective variables. Our hybrid approach fuses data-driven with forward-modeling-based techniques and has been successfully applied to explain healthy brain function and clinical translation including aging, stroke and epilepsy. Here we illustrate the workflow along the example of epilepsy: we reconstruct personalized connectivity matrices of human epileptic patients using Diffusion Tensor weighted Imaging (DTI). Subsets of brain regions generating seizures in patients with refractory partial epilepsy are referred to as the epileptogenic zone (EZ). During a seizure, paroxysmal activity is not restricted to the EZ, but may recruit other healthy brain regions and propagate activity through large brain networks. The identification of the EZ is crucial for the success of neurosurgery and presents one of the historically difficult questions in clinical neuroscience. The application of latest techniques in Bayesian inference and model inversion, in particular Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, allows the estimation of the EZ, including estimates of confidence and diagnostics of performance of the inference. The example of epilepsy nicely underwrites the predictive value of personalized large-scale brain network models. The workflow of end-to-end modeling is an integral part of the European neuroinformatics platform EBRAINS and enables neuroscientists worldwide to build and estimate personalized virtual brains.

Metabolic Remodelling in the Developing Forebrain in Health and Disease

Little is known about the critical metabolic changes that neural cells have to undergo during development and how temporary shifts in this program can influence brain circuitries and behavior. Motivated by the identification of autism-associated mutations in SLC7A5, a transporter for metabolically essential large neutral amino acids (LNAAs), we utilized metabolomic profiling to investigate the metabolic states of the cerebral cortex across various developmental stages. Our findings reveal significant metabolic restructuring occurring in the forebrain throughout development, with specific groups of metabolites exhibiting stage-specific changes. Through the manipulation of Slc7a5 expression in neural cells, we discovered an interconnected relationship between the metabolism of LNAAs and lipids within the cortex. Neuronal deletion of Slc7a5 influences the postnatal metabolic state, resulting in a shift in lipid metabolism and a cell-type-specific modification in neuronal activity patterns. This ultimately gives rise to enduring circuit dysfunction.

How Intermittent Bioenergetic Challenges Enhance Brain and Body Health

Humans and other animals evolved in habitats fraught with a range of environmental challenges to their bodies and brains. Accordingly, cells and organ systems possess adaptive stress-responsive signaling pathways that enable them to not only withstand environmental challenges, but also to prepare for future challenges and function more efficiently. These phylogenetically conserved processes are the foundation of the hormesis principle in which repeated exposures to low to moderate amounts of an environmental challenge improve cellular and organismal fitness. Here I describe cellular and molecular mechanisms by which cells in the brain and body respond to intermittent fasting and exercise in ways that enhance performance and counteract aging and disease processes. Switching back and forth between adaptive stress response (during fasting and exercise) and growth and plasticity (eating, resting, sleeping) modes enhances the performance and resilience of various organ systems. While pharmacological interventions that engage a particular hormetic mechanism are being developed, it seems unlikely that any will prove superior to fasting and exercise.

Internal representation of musical rhythm: transformation from sound to periodic beat

When listening to music, humans readily perceive and move along with a periodic beat. Critically, perception of a periodic beat is commonly elicited by rhythmic stimuli with physical features arranged in a way that is not strictly periodic. Hence, beat perception must capitalize on mechanisms that transform stimulus features into a temporally recurrent format with emphasized beat periodicity. Here, I will present a line of work that aims to clarify the nature and neural basis of this transformation. In these studies, electrophysiological activity was recorded as participants listened to rhythms known to induce perception of a consistent beat across healthy Western adults. The results show that the human brain selectively emphasizes beat representation when it is not acoustically prominent in the stimulus, and this transformation (i) can be captured non-invasively using surface EEG in adult participants, (ii) is already in place in 5- to 6-month-old infants, and (iii) cannot be fully explained by subcortical auditory nonlinearities. Moreover, as revealed by human intracerebral recordings, a prominent beat representation emerges already in the primary auditory cortex. Finally, electrophysiological recordings from the auditory cortex of a rhesus monkey show a significant enhancement of beat periodicities in this area, similar to humans. Taken together, these findings indicate an early, general auditory cortical stage of processing by which rhythmic inputs are rendered more temporally recurrent than they are in reality. Already present in non-human primates and human infants, this "periodized" default format could then be shaped by higher-level associative sensory-motor areas and guide movement in individuals with strongly coupled auditory and motor systems. Together, this highlights the multiplicity of neural processes supporting coordinated musical behaviors widely observed across human cultures.The experiments herein include: a motor timing task comparing the effects of movement vs non-movement with and without feedback (Exp. 1A & 1B), a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study on the role of the supplementary motor area (SMA) in transforming temporal information (Exp. 2), and a perceptual timing task investigating the effect of noisy movement on time perception with both visual and auditory modalities (Exp. 3A & 3B). Together, the results of these studies support the Bayesian cue combination framework, in that: movement improves the precision of time perception not only in perceptual timing tasks but also motor timing tasks (Exp. 1A & 1B), stimulating the SMA appears to disrupt the transformation of temporal information (Exp. 2), and when movement becomes unreliable or noisy there is no longer an improvement in precision of time perception (Exp. 3A & 3B). Although there is support for the proposed framework, more studies (i.e., fMRI, TMS, EEG, etc.) need to be conducted in order to better understand where and how this may be instantiated in the brain; however, this work provides a starting point to better understanding the intrinsic connection between time and movement

Richly structured reward predictions in dopaminergic learning circuits

Theories from reinforcement learning have been highly influential for interpreting neural activity in the biological circuits critical for animal and human learning. Central among these is the identification of phasic activity in dopamine neurons as a reward prediction error signal that drives learning in basal ganglia and prefrontal circuits. However, recent findings suggest that dopaminergic prediction error signals have access to complex, structured reward predictions and are sensitive to more properties of outcomes than learning theories with simple scalar value predictions might suggest. Here, I will present recent work in which we probed the identity-specific structure of reward prediction errors in an odor-guided choice task and found evidence for multiple predictive “threads” that segregate reward predictions, and reward prediction errors, according to the specific sensory features of anticipated outcomes. Our results point to an expanded class of neural reinforcement learning algorithms in which biological agents learn rich associative structure from their environment and leverage it to build reward predictions that include information about the specific, and perhaps idiosyncratic, features of available outcomes, using these to guide behavior in even quite simple reward learning tasks.

How AI is advancing Clinical Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience

This talk aims to highlight the immense potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing the field of psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Through the integration of machine learning algorithms, big data analytics, and neuroimaging techniques, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we study human cognition and brain characteristics. In this talk, I will highlight our latest scientific advancements in utilizing AI to gain deeper insights into variations in cognitive performance across the lifespan and along the continuum from healthy to pathological functioning. The presentation will showcase cutting-edge examples of AI-driven applications, such as deep learning for automated scoring of neuropsychological tests, natural language processing to characeterize semantic coherence of patients with psychosis, and other application to diagnose and treat psychiatric and neurological disorders. Furthermore, the talk will address the challenges and ethical considerations associated with using AI in psychological research, such as data privacy, bias, and interpretability. Finally, the talk will discuss future directions and opportunities for further advancements in this dynamic field.

Microstructural Features of the Human Sensorimotor Cortex in Health and Disease

Face and voice perception as a tool for characterizing perceptual decisions and metacognitive abilities across the general population and psychosis spectrum

Humans constantly make perceptual decisions on human faces and voices. These regularly come with the challenge of receiving only uncertain sensory evidence, resulting from noisy input and noisy neural processes. Efficiently adapting one’s internal decision system including prior expectations and subsequent metacognitive assessments to these challenges is crucial in everyday life. However, the exact decision mechanisms and whether these represent modifiable states remain unknown in the general population and clinical patients with psychosis. Using data from a laboratory-based sample of healthy controls and patients with psychosis as well as a complementary, large online sample of healthy controls, I will demonstrate how a combination of perceptual face and voice recognition decision fidelity, metacognitive ratings, and Bayesian computational modelling may be used as indicators to differentiate between non-clinical and clinical states in the future.

Asymmetric signaling across the hierarchy of cytoarchitecture within the human connectome

Cortical variations in cytoarchitecture form a sensory-fugal axis that shapes regional profiles of extrinsic connectivity and is thought to guide signal propagation and integration across the cortical hierarchy. While neuroimaging work has shown that this axis constrains local properties of the human connectome, it remains unclear whether it also shapes the asymmetric signaling that arises from higher-order topology. Here, we used network control theory to examine the amount of energy required to propagate dynamics across the sensory-fugal axis. Our results revealed an asymmetry in this energy, indicating that bottom-up transitions were easier to complete compared to top-down. Supporting analyses demonstrated that asymmetries were underpinned by a connectome topology that is wired to support efficient bottom-up signaling. Lastly, we found that asymmetries correlated with differences in communicability and intrinsic neuronal time scales and lessened throughout youth. Our results show that cortical variation in cytoarchitecture may guide the formation of macroscopic connectome topology.

Fragile minds in a scary world: trauma and post traumatic stress in very young children

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and disabling condition that affects larger numbers of children and adolescents worldwide. Until recently, we have understood little about the nature of PTSD reactions in our youngest children (aged under 8 years old). This talk describes our work over the last 15 years working with this very young age group. It overviews how we need a markedly different PTSD diagnosis for very young children, data on the prevalence of this new diagnostic algorithm, and the development of a psychological intervention and its evaluation in a clinical trial.

Neuron-glial interactions in health and disease: from cognition to cancer

In the central nervous system, neuronal activity is a critical regulator of development and plasticity. Activity-dependent proliferation of healthy glial progenitors, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), and the consequent generation of new oligodendrocytes contributes to adaptive myelination. This plasticity of myelin tunes neural circuit function and contributes to healthy cognition. The robust mitogenic effect of neuronal activity on normal oligodendroglial precursor cells, a putative cellular origin for many forms of glioma, suggests that dysregulated or “hijacked” mechanisms of myelin plasticity might similarly promote malignant cell proliferation in this devastating group of brain cancers. Indeed, neuronal activity promotes progression of both high-grade and low-grade glioma subtypes in preclinical models. Crucial mechanisms mediating activity-regulated glioma growth include paracrine secretion of BDNF and the synaptic protein neuroligin-3 (NLGN3). NLGN3 induces multiple oncogenic signaling pathways in the cancer cell, and also promotes glutamatergic synapse formation between neurons and glioma cells. Glioma cells integrate into neural circuits synaptically through neuron-to-glioma synapses, and electrically through potassium-evoked currents that are amplified through gap-junctional coupling between tumor cells This synaptic and electrical integration of glioma into neural circuits is central to tumor progression in preclinical models. Thus, neuron-glial interactions not only modulate neural circuit structure and function in the healthy brain, but paracrine and synaptic neuron-glioma interactions also play important roles in the pathogenesis of glial cancers. The mechanistic parallels between normal and malignant neuron-glial interactions underscores the extent to which mechanisms of neurodevelopment and plasticity are subverted by malignant gliomas, and the importance of understanding the neuroscience of cancer.
