中文简介:
工作记忆是一种短期主动维护信息以及处理维护信息的机制。已知背外侧前额叶皮层(DLPFC)参与工作记忆。当猴子执行各种工作记忆任务时,任务相关DLPFC活动的分析表明,延迟期活动是临时主动维护信息机制的神经关联,因为这种活动在整个延迟期间持续存在,表现出对特殊的视觉特征,与正确的行为表现有关。另一方面,信息处理可以被认为是在试验进行期间由神经元群体代表的信息的变化。使用由任务相关的DLPFC活动群体计算的群体向量,我们证明了在空间工作记忆任务的表现期间由DLPFC神经元群体代表的信息的时间变化。使用同时分离的神经元对的尖峰激发的互相关分析揭示了相邻神经元之间广泛的功能性相互作用,尤其是具有延迟期活动的神经元,以及取决于试验背景的动态调节。神经元之间的功能相互作用及其动态调制可以是工作记忆过程中的信息处理机制。
课程简介: Working memory is a mechanism for short-term active maintenance of information as well as for processing maintained information. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been known to participate in working memory. The analysis of task-related DLPFC activity while monkeys performed a variety of working memory tasks revealed that delay-period activity is a neural correlate of a mechanism for temporary active maintenance of information, because this activity persisted throughout the delay period, showed selectivity to a particular visual feature, and was related to correct behavioral performances. On the other hand, information processing can be considered as a change of the information represented by a population of neurons during the progress of the trial. Using population vectors calculated by a population of task-related DLPFC activities, we demonstrated the temporal change of information represented by a population of DLPFC neurons during performances of spatial working memory tasks. Cross-correlation analysis using spike firings of simultaneously isolated pairs of neurons reveals widespread functional interactions among neighboring neurons, especially neurons having delay-period activity, and their dynamic modulation depending on the context of the trial. Functional interactions among neurons and their dynamic modulation could be a mechanism of information processing in the working memory processes.
