Q

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

MRI

A

energy at specific radio frequencies is absorbed and reemitted by nuclei with non-zero spin
(electromagnetic energy but same concept as resonance)
w=yB
w=resonant (Larmor) frequency -> 85mHz typ.
y=gyromagnetic ratio
B=magnetic field strength

Q

MRI signal

A

radio frequency pulse (at Larmor frequency to be absorbed by hydrogen in brain) goes into brain
excites atoms in brain and then energy is released

measures density of hydrogen atoms but pulse of certain freq. only absorbed by H atoms, measure how much is absorbed then released again

Q

Gradients to encode space

A
  • parts of brain have slightly different magnetic field strengths s
  • resonance frequency for hydrogen will be different due to magnetic field

Encodes energy using frequency and phase (3 gradients to get separate measurements to create 3D image)

Q

Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast

A

key to fMRI
oxygenation of blood gives hint of how active areas of brain are
- cells require energy source when metabolically active so they use up oxygen and other resources provided by blood

Q

timing from hemoglobin

A

spike of oxygenated blood rushes in to sweep away deoxygenated hemoglobin
(deoxygenated from active use)
this dip in deoxygenated blood (from replacement) takes about 6s and the response is much more spread out in time
*fMRI does not have very good temporal resolution (cannot see direct neural activity but slower smeared out response for circulatory system)

Q

fMRI signal/data

A

in order to collect frames every 2 seconds, resolution is sacrificed
images are a lot blurrier for fMRI for quick image collection
doesn’t affect too much cause changes are what are being recorded (local areas serviced by certain blood vessels)
BOLD signal is really weak, most of signal is structure but BOLD changes sit on top of main structural signal

Bilateral hippocampal regions
- memory for semantic information = incorrectly thinking lures were on list

True memories activate both
false activate hippocampal but not parahippocampal
new memories activated neither

**often caused by stoke, typically left side of brain (where language area usually located)

84
Q

Broca’s aphasia

A

Expressive aphasia, motor aphasia
*motor apparatus is fine but expression of words is difficult

Spontaneous speech: slow, laboured, nonfluent
- most difficult verbs, articles, pronouns
- makes sense but ungrammatical
- better fluency for memorized phrases, singing
Repetition: slow, laboured, nonfluent
Comprehension: relatively spared (aware of struggle/inability to articulate knowledge and aware of gap between what they want to say and what is being said
Writing: shows same errors as speech (production problem)

Impairment of grammar and hierarchy of language than production

- nonsense words (neologisms)
- roundabout expression of meaning (circumlocution)
Repetition: fluent, unlabored but w/ neologisms
Comprehension: severely impaired
Writing: shows same errors as speech
Impairment of comprehension rather than perception
–> problem is linking speech sounds to meaning, not perceiving the words

86

Spontaneous speech: severely impaired
Repetition: severely impaired
Comprehension: severely impaired
Writing: severely impaired
Associated with damage to both areas
87

96
Q

Apraxia of speech

A

motor difficulties with formation of words due to brain damage

Disorder in programming the speech musculature to produce correct sounds of words in the proper sequence with the appropriate timing

  • inconsistent articulatory errors
  • articulatory groping
  • disruption in prosody
  • disruption in rate of speech
  • *Not a perceptual problem
  • -> no difficulty perceiving or recognizing speech sounds, including their own articulatory errors
97
Q

Localization of speech articulation planning

A

the pre-central gyrus of the left insulated is necessary for the preliminary planning and initiation of articulatory movements

  • because left hemisphere stroke and for most right handed people have language on the left
  • insula mediates motor aspects of speech production (articulatory control)
98

Normative/prescriptive model of decision making

A
  • describes how people “should” decide (in order to maximize wealth)
  • grounded in economic and statistical theory
Expected value (option I with j possible outcomes)
*people should make decisions based on expected values
116
Q

Prospect theory

A

Descriptive model of choice
- describes how people “do” decide
- grounded in observed behaviour
~relative decisions are not absolute

Key features:

  • objective values are transformed into subjective values (what would be the value or utility of outcome)
  • objective probabilities are transformed into subjective decision weights
  • options are evaluated based on a common reference point (e.g. what I have rn, what I want, need, etc.)
117
Q

Aversive stimuli

A

options involved increased risk or punishment

  • insular cortex (INS)
  • ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC)
118
Q

Unexpected rewards

A

outcomes are better than expected

  • ventral striatum (STR)
  • medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)
119
Q

Executive control

A

Top-down processed required for evaluation of uncertain choice options

  • dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dLPFC)
  • posterior parietal cortex (PPC)
120
Q

Behavioural inhibition system

carver & white, 1994

A
  • sensitive to signals of punishment, non reward, and novelty
  • inhibits behaviour that may lead to negative or painful outcomes
  • responsible for experience of negative feelings such as fear, anxiety, frustration and sadness
121
Q

Behavioural approach/activation system (BAS)

A
  • sensitive to signals of reward, non punishment and escape from punishment
  • causes person to begin (or to increase) movements towards goals
  • responsible for experience of positive feelings such as hope, elation and happiness
122
Q

Stroop task model

Cohen, Dunbar & McClelland, 1990

A

neural network model

  • name ink colour or word
  • hard/slow: two competing responses

Requires top-down cognitive control to inhibit word reading/facilitate colour naming (or vice versa)

123
Q

Top down control

A
  • goal representations in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) provide top-down biasing of perceptual-motor mappings
  • working memory provides the representation
  • inhibition is the resulting process

Cognitive control is not a set of independent faculties but an integrated system

124
Q

DLPFC

A

online maintenance and manipulation of information needed to guide goal-oriented
- top down influence of information on decision making behaviour

**right DLPFC needed for active suppression of option that appears seductive because of higher payoff (role in value based decision making)
direct evidence that free choice is implemented physically in the brain
