Disorders of Motivation Prof. Sanjay Manohar Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences Department of Psychology University of Oxford Disorders of motivation Too much, too little, ° Impulsivity ° Apathy ° Akinetic mutism ° Fatigue ° Alien limb ° Split brain ° Dyskinesias ° Utilisation behaviour ° Functional disorders Impulse control disorders Abnormal urge or impulse, interfering with normal life ° Pathological Gambling ° Compulsive Shopping ° Sexual Compulsion ° Dopamine Dysregulation Disorder ° Punding ° Kleptomania, pyromania, trichotillomania, Impulse control disorders Common and disabling ° 14% of PD patients on D2 agonists ° May be subtle, not always picked up ° Proposed Mechanisms • Increased reward sensitivity • Reduced sensitivity to risk / uncertainty • Novelty-seeking • Steeper temporal discounting / cost of time • Disinhibition • Less ‘reflection’ or desire for information Impulse control disorders ° How often do they select the more probable colour? Abnormal gambling task behaviour ° How much do they then bet? Amount increases or decreases during the response period Cools et al. Neuropsychologia 2003; Clark et al. Brain 2008 Are ICDs a consequence of disinhibition? Stop signal Stroop Haylings ° ON minus OFF RT for DBS ° Patients with PD have to STN vs ventral impaired suppression of intermediate thalamus prepotent responses in Stop ° Choice RT and SSRT much signal, Stroop and Haylings prolonged A/B Van den Wildenberg et al. JoCN 2006 Impulsivity is related to time Time is more costly? ° Steeper temporal discounting rate in PD with ICDs Voon et al Psychopharmacology 2012 Reflection impulsivity PD ICD and substance abusers desire less information before choice ° Blue or green beads drawn from an urn ° Guess the majority colour Djamshidian et al. Mov Dis 2012 Clinical Apathy Amotivation ° Diagnostic criteria Diminished motivation in comparison to previous level of function, which is not consistent with age or culture. PLUS one of: diminished • goal-directed behaviour • goal-directed cognitive activity • emotion Clinically significant impairment (personal, social, occupational) Not explained by physical / motor disabilities or direct physiological effects of a drug Robert et al. (2009) European Psychiatry Apathy and Depression Distinct but overlapping syndromes Emotional symptoms Apathetic symptoms Overlap of depression Pagonabarraga et al Lancet Neurol 2015 Clinical Apathy Mechanisms only studied recently ° Neuroeconomic approaches ° Postulated mechanisms • Higher effort cost • Lower reward sensitivity •Inability to generate options • Failure of internally-guided movement Pagonabarraga et al Lancet Neurol 2015 Rodents: Effort costs increased by Ventral striatal dopamine depletion Medial frontal lesions Pre-lesion Post-lesion Salamone 1994/2012 Walton 2002/2006 Motivation and mesolimbic dopamine insula Wanting (Instrumental) Liking (Hedonic) cingulate OFC accumbens VTA Kringelbach & Berridge 2012 Role of dopamine release Tonic Phasic Dorsal Striatum Willingness to exert effort Reward prediction error Chunking action Motor invigoration Cue value learning Habit formation Stress response Aversive / penalty Working memory Perceptual salience Zweifel et al. PNAS 2009 mesolimbic DA serves as a bridge that “ enables animals to traverse the psychological distance that separates them from goal objects or events ” Salamone & Correa 2012 a general property of a specific function? neural processing? • Goal-directed OR • Energisation • Localised • Chemical Dopamine vs. Noradrenaline in Reward- effort task Decision time: DA = Reward – Effort NA = Reward Action time: NA = Effort Varazzanni…Bouret et al. 2015 Many diseases cause apathy A final common pathway? • Depression AD • Schizophrenia PD •TBI Stroke% • Vascular Dementia 0204060 •FTD, HD, CBD, PSP Apathy Both Depression Neuro- Kirsch-Darrow et al.

Patient Information. • Neuropsychology • Concurrent depression • Dopamine agonists •Cholinesterase inhibitors Reduced reward sensitivity in post-stroke apathy In a monetary incentive delay task ° Apathetic patients with lesions to basal ganglia show reduced effects of monetary incentive Reward probability Rochat et al. Neurology 2013 Apathy in healthy people Measured by questionnaires and effort-sensitivity tasks Higher effort costs in apathy Reduced willingness to squeeze a gripper for money Lower anterior cingulum bundle integrity in apathy (Fractional anisotropy correlates negatively with apathy score) 21 Bonnelle et al (2015) Cerebral Cortex Akinetic mutism “Autoactivation deficit” ° Bilateral medial frontal damage ° SMA, preSMA, cingulate callosum / cingulate white matter Nemeth et al 1988 Assorted terms for Amotivation Not always considered distinct Akrasia Apathy Akinetic mutism Abulia Autoactivation deficit Anergia Athymhormia Anhedonia Dimensions of apathy “behavioural apathy” autoactivation deficit “cognitive apathy” “emotional apathy” Marin 1991 Robert…Starkstein 2009 Fatigue A feeling of low energy levels ° Heightened sense of effort ‰ High effort cost ° Very common after stroke, inflammation, infection, and in all chronic diseases ° “Ego depletion” account ° State vs trait fatigue – fatiguability Kuppuswamy, Brain 2017 ° What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (previously Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)? • Does it exist? • Is it organic (i.e. have a biological rather than psychological cause)? • Attention to somatic feedback; Bias in interpreting information •“Illness behaviour” Alien Limb Syndrome Limb “has a mind of its own” ° Anarchic hand vs asomatognosia ° Penfield: complex movements elicited from frontal cortex • Stimulation of PMC – “my hand just moved” • Stimulation of SMA – “I felt the urge to move” ° TMS – similar effects Alien limb is modulated by context Moro, Pernigo, Scandola, Aglioti Neuropsychologia 2015 Split brain Right hemisphere can’t combine meanings of sequential words Gazzaniga Split brain Visual word match: right hemisphere. Picture match: left hemisphere Levy and Trevarthen, Brain 1977 Split brain Confabulation – what motivated behaviour? Dyskinesia Abnormal involuntary movements ° Chorea – complex, dance-like • Huntington’s Chorea, Sydenham’s Chorea • Degeneration of striatal GABAergic neurons ° Hemiballismus • Unilateral flinging twisting movements • Lesions to subthalamic nucleus (inhibitory area in basal ganglia) ° Dystonia • Stiffness and abnormal posture Akathisia A sense of inner restlessness ° Very unpleasant, disabling ° A few weeks after dopamine D2 agonist withdrawal in PD ° Drug side effect of D2 blockade in Schizophrenia ° Patients have to rock, march on the spot, fidget, pace about ° Restless legs syndrome – akathisia localised to legs? Altered agency Movements may arise through many non-volitional routes ° Obsessions vs compulsions ° OCD – anxiety; neurosis ° Compulsion: experience as “desire causes action” ° Stereotypies ° Hypnotic suggestibility ° cf. Cognitive dissonance / “Choice blindness” e.g. Wilson & Nisbett 1978 ° Made acts, delusions, depersonalisation, derealisation (Schizophrenia) Tourette syndrome Urges and habits ° Tics • Stereotyped voluntary movements • Preceded by an urge • Result in satisfaction / quench the urge ° Coprolalia Utilisation behaviour A profound form of disinhibition? ° Bilateral medial frontal lesions ° Unaware and unable to apply context-governed control ° Affordance-driven behaviour ° Use objects in an ‘overlearned’ manner, rather than following task instructions Utilisation behaviour More than just competition from affordances ° Cup on left or right ° “Reach with nearest hand” ° Interference when handle conflicted. ° “Reach with hand nearest handle”, target central ° Distractors captured action irrespective of compatibility Humphreys and Riddoch EBR 2000 Functional Neurological Disorders Borderline between neurology and psychiatry ° Hysterical / Psychogenic / Conversion disorder • Neurological symptoms with normal neural function • Fluctuate, distractible, • Not “faked” • Triggered by emotional stress, anxiety • Often history of (repressed) major mental trauma eg. in childhood • Can be paralysis, abnormal movement or seizures, speech disturbance, or sensations •Hard to treat ° Opposite: Munchausen syndrome •Patient fully aware • Secondary gain Carson et al. http://www.neurosymptoms.org/ Feedback https://oxfordxpsy.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b9QzLybTpzOb165.
