AI总结:

本研究通过fMRI发现,基底神经节影响先于皮层网络整合,小脑影响与皮层分离相关,揭示了皮层下通路在皮层网络重构中的不同作用。

摘要:

哺乳动物的功能架构能够灵活适应,从信息跨皮层分布的整合状态,过渡到信息聚焦于脑区密集连接社团的分离状态。这种皮层脑网络的灵活性被假设为由源自皮层下通路的控制信号驱动,其中基底神经节将皮层推向整合处理状态,而小脑推向分离状态。在健康人类参与者样本(N=242)中,我们使用fMRI测量参与者执行具有相似认知需求的两个任务(Stroop和Multi-Source Inference Task (MSIT))时全局脑网络的时间变化。使用模块化指数,我们确定皮层网络在静息时从整合(低模块化)转变为较容易即一致条件下的高模块化(分离)。与较易条件相比,任务难度增加(不一致)导致模块化降低,表明皮层网络的整合程度更高。基底神经节和小脑的影响使用特征向量中心性测量。结果分别与皮层模块化的降低和增加相关,其中仅基底神经节的影响先于皮层整合。我们的结果支持基底神经节因环境需求将皮层网络转变为整合状态的理论。小脑影响与向分离皮层状态的转变相关,尽管可能不发挥因果作用。

英文摘要:

Mammalian functional architecture flexibly adapts, transitioning from integration where information is distributed across the cortex, to segregation where information is focal in densely connected communities of brain regions. This flexibility in cortical brain networks is hypothesized to be driven by control signals originating from subcortical pathways, with the basal ganglia shifting the cortex towards integrated processing states and the cerebellum towards segregated states. In a sample of healthy human participants (N=242), we used fMRI to measure temporal variation in global brain networks while participants performed two tasks with similar cognitive demands (Stroop and Multi-Source Inference Task (MSIT)). Using the modularity index, we determined cortical networks shifted from integration (low modularity) at rest to high modularity during easier i.e. congruent (segregation). Increased task difficulty (incongruent) resulted in lower modularity in comparison to the easier counterpart indicating more integration of the cortical network. Influence of basal ganglia and cerebellum was measured using eigenvector centrality. Results correlated with decreases and increases in cortical modularity respectively, with only the basal ganglia influence preceding cortical integration. Our results support the theory the basal ganglia shifts cortical networks to integrated states due to environmental demand. Cerebellar influence correlates with shifts to segregated cortical states, though may not play a causal role.
