  • Normal Aging Associated Functional Alternations in Auditory
    NORMAL AGING ASSOCIATED FUNCTIONAL ALTERNATIONS IN AUDITORY SENSORY AND WORKING MEMORY PROCESSING by YUAN GAO (Under the Direction of Brett A. Clementz) ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study was to determine normal aging associated changes in brain functions during auditory sensory and auditory working memory processing by magneto- encephalography (MEG) measurement. Old and young participants were recruited from data recording. It is found that though there are no significant age associated differences in behavioral performance; normal aging associated brain activations differ between age groups. For brain activations in auditory sensory processing, though both age groups activate the same cortical regions and show a habituation pattern on stimulus rate effects, old participants have larger response magnitude and faster response speed than young participants. For brain activations in auditory working memory, old participants’ brain responses are slower than young participants’ and different cortical areas of two age groups are activated in the same experiment task. The possible underlying mechanisms of these normal aging associated brain responses differences are discussed further.

  • Disrupted Functional Connectivity of the Pain Network in Fibromyalgia
    Published Ahead of Print on December 30, 2011 as 10.1097/PSY.0b013e3182408f04 Disrupted Functional Connectivity of the Pain Network in Fibromyalgia IGNACIO CIFRE,PHD, CAROLINA SITGES,PHD, DANIEL FRAIMAN,PHD, MIGUEL A´ NGEL MUN˜ OZ,PHD, PABLO BALENZUELA,PHD, ANA GONZA´ LEZ-ROLDA´ N, MS, MERCEDES MARTI´NEZ-JAUAND, MS, NIELS BIRBAUMER,PHD, DANTE R. CHIALVO,MD, AND PEDRO MONTOYA,PHD Objective: To investigate the impact of chronic pain on brain dynamics at rest. Methods: Functional connectivity was examined in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) (n = 9) and healthy controls (n = 11) by calculating partial correlations between low-frequency blood oxygen levelYdependent fluctuations extracted from 15 brain regions. Results: Patients with FM had more positive and negative correlations within the pain network than healthy controls. Patients with FM displayed enhanced functional connectivity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) with the insula (INS) and basal ganglia ( p values between .01 and .05), the secondary somatosensory area with the caudate (CAU) (p = .012), the primary motor cortex with the supplementary motor area (p = .007), the globus pallidus with the amygdala and superior temporal sulcus (both p values G .05), and the medial prefrontal cortex with the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and CAU (both p values G .05). Functional connectivity of the ACC with the amygdala and periaqueductal gray (PAG) matter (p values between .001 and .05), the thalamus with the INS and PAG (both p values G .01), the INS with the putamen (p = .038), the PAG with the CAU (p = .038), the secondary somatosensory area with the motor cortex and PCC (both p values G .05), and the PCC with the superior temporal sulcus (p = .002) was also reduced in FM.

Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Atlanta, GA, USA Correspondence*: Theodore J. LaGrow, Eva L. Dyer [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Robust methods for characterizing the cellular architecture (cytoarchitecture) of the brain are needed to differentiate brain areas, identify neurological diseases, and model architectural differences across species. Current methods for mapping the cytoarchitecture and, in particular, identifying laminar (layer) divisions in tissue samples require the expertise of trained neuroanatomists to manually annotate the various regions-of-interest and cells within an image. However, as neuroanatomical datasets grow in volume, manual annotations become inefficient, impractical, and risk the potential of biasing results. In this paper, we propose an automated framework for cellular detection and density estimation that enables the detection of laminar divisions within retinal and neocortical histology datasets. Our approach for layer detection uses total variation minimization to find a small number of change points in the density that signify the beginning and end of each layer.

Abstract Background: High frequency oscillations in the gamma range are known to be involved in early stages of auditory information processing in terms of synchronization of brain regions, e.g., in cognitive functions. It has been shown using EEG source localisation, as well as simultaneously recorded EEG-fMRI, that the auditory evoked gamma-band response (aeGBR) is modulated by attention.

  • Neuroanatomical Domain of the Foundational Model of Anatomy
    Nichols et al. Journal of Biomedical Semantics 2014, 5:1 http://www.jbiomedsem.com/content/5/1/1 JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL SEMANTICS DATABASE Open Access Neuroanatomical domain of the foundational model of anatomy ontology B Nolan Nichols1*, Jose LV Mejino1, Landon T Detwiler1, Trond T Nilsen1, Maryann E Martone2, Jessica A Turner3, Daniel L Rubin4 and James F Brinkley1 Abstract Background: The diverse set of human brain structure and function analysis methods represents a difficult challenge for reconciling multiple views of neuroanatomical organization. While different views of organization are expected and valid, no widely adopted approach exists to harmonize different brain labeling protocols and terminologies. Our approach uses the natural organizing framework provided by anatomical structure to correlate terminologies commonly used in neuroimaging. Description: The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) Ontology provides a semantic framework for representing the anatomical entities and relationships that constitute the phenotypic organization of the human body. In this paper we describe recent enhancements to the neuroanatomical content of the FMA that models cytoarchitectural and morphological regions of the cerebral cortex, as well as white matter structure and connectivity. This modeling effort is driven by the need to correlate and reconcile the terms used in neuroanatomical labeling protocols. By providing an ontological framework that harmonizes multiple views of neuroanatomical organization, the FMA provides developers with reusable and computable knowledge for a range of biomedical applications. Conclusions: A requirement for facilitating the integration of basic and clinical neuroscience data from diverse sources is a well-structured ontology that can incorporate, organize, and associate neuroanatomical data. We applied the ontological framework of the FMA to align the vocabularies used by several human brain atlases, and to encode emerging knowledge about structural connectivity in the brain.
