Cognitive Neuroscience
“If the brain were simple enough to understand, we would be too stupid to understand it”

The Chemical Synapse
![Page 4: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Chemical Neurotransmission
“At rest”, the synapse (presynaptic side) contains numerous synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitter, intracellular calcium levels are very low (1).
Arrival of an action potential: voltage-gated calcium channels open, calcium enters the synapse (2).
Calcium triggers exocytosis and release of neurotransmitter (3).
Vesicle is recycled by endocytosis (4).
![Page 5: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Chemical Neurotransmission
Once released, the neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft (about 20-50 nm wide).
When they “arrive” at the postsynaptic membrane, they bind to neurotransmitter receptors (“lock-and-key” mechanism).
Two main classes of receptors:
Transmitter-gated ion channels
G-protein-coupled receptors
Transmitter-gated ion channels: transmitter molecules bind on the outside, cause the channel to open and become permeable to either Na+ (depolarizing, excitatory effect) or Cl– (hyperpolarizing, inhibitory effect).
G-protein-coupled receptors have slower, longer-lasting and diverse postsynaptic effects. They can have effects that change an entire cell’s metabolism.

Excitatory Effects of Neurotransmitters
EPSP = ExcitatoryPost-SynapticPotential
![Page 7: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Inhibitory Effects of Neurotransmitters
IPSP = InhibitoryPost-SynapticPotential
![Page 8: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Integration of Synaptic Inputs
In the CNS, many EPSP’s are needed to generate an AP in a single neuron.
A single EPSP has, in general, very little effect on the state of a neuron (this makes computational sense).
On average, the dendrite of a cortical pyramidal cell receives ~10000 synaptic contacts, of which several hundred to a thousand are active at any given time.
The adding together of many EPSP’s in both space and time is called synaptic integration.
![Page 9: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Synaptic Integration
(a)Single input → single EPSP.
(b)Three APs arriving simultaneously at different parts of the dendrite add together to produce a larger response (spatial summation).
(c) Three APs arriving in quick succession in the same fiber can also result in a larger response (temporal summation).

Neurobiology
Neuroanatomy and neurophysiologyare often conducted in animalsystems (monkey, cat, etc.).
Neuroanatomy:
- Large-scale anatomy of the brain- Subdivisions of the cortex- Neuronal subtypes, layers- Morphology of single neurons
![Page 32: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Neurobiology
Neurophysiology:
- Recording of neural activity, often in the context of a stimulus or task (single-cell recording, local field potential recording, multi-electroderecording).- Electrical stimulation of neurons to study their role in perception or movement (micro-stimulation, surface stimulation)

EEG
The electroencephalogram (EEG) measures the activity of large numbers (populations) of neurons.
First recorded by Hans Berger in 1929.
EEG recordings are noninvasive, painless, do not interfere much with a human subject’s ability to move or perceive stimuli, are relatively low-cost.
Electrodes measure voltage-differences at the scalp in the microvolt (μV) range.
Voltage-traces are recorded with millisecond resolution – great advantage over brain imaging (fMRI or PET).
![Page 36: Week 3 Lecture Notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554ea8d5b4c905977e8b4acf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

EEG
Many neurons need to sum their activity in order to be detected by EEG electrodes. The timing of their activity is crucial. Synchronized neural activity produces larger signals.

EEG
EEG potentials are good indicators of global brain state. They often display rhythmic patterns at characteristic frequencies

EEGEEG suffers from poor current source localization and the “inverse problem”

44
EEG
EEG rhythms correlate with patterns of behavior (level of attentiveness, sleeping, waking, seizures, coma).
Rhythms occur in distinct frequency ranges:
Gamma: 20-60 Hz (“cognitive” frequency band)
Beta: 14-20 Hz (activated cortex)
Alpha: 8-13 Hz (quiet waking)
Theta: 4-7 Hz (sleep stages)
Delta: less than 4 Hz (sleep stages, especially “deep sleep”)
Higher frequencies: active processing, relatively de-synchronized activity (alert wakefulness, dream sleep).
Lower frequencies: strongly synchronized activity (nondreaming sleep, coma).

MEGThree task conditions: MEG results
1 -- Listening to tones that were delivered with a delay of about 5s. A random time was added to prevent stimulus prediction. The signal is an average over about 80 stimulus presentations.
2 -- Reacting to acoustic stimuli. The same stimulus presentation as in (1) but now the subject was told to press on an air cushion as soon as possible after the tone was heard.
3 -- Synchronizing with a rhythm. Here the tones were presented regularly with a frequency of 1 Hz. The subject was told to press the air cushion in synchrony with the stimulus.

MRI - fMRI
Subjects are placed in a strong external magnetic field. Spin axes of nuclei orient within the field. External RF pulseis applied. Spin axes reorient, then relax. During relaxation time, nuclei send out pulses, which differ depending on the microenvironment (e.g. water/fat ratio).
The Physics (sort of) ...
fMRI – functional MRIAllows fast acquisition of a complete image slice in as little as 20 ms. Several slices are acquired in rapid succession and the data is examined for statistical differences.
Hemoglobin is “brighter” than deoxyhemoglobin. Oxygenated blood is “brighter” - active areas are “brighter”.

Sensing Techniques-fMRI
• Functional Magnetic Nuclear Resonance Imaging• Similar to Pet, uses radio frequency information
given off by water• Gives better time (6 seconds) and spatial (2 mm)
resolution than Pet or Cat scans• Technology still under revision• Slight danger to subjects• Expensive ($300 an hour)

PET and fMRI - Similarities and Differences
- Different biological signal. Yet, both pick up a signal related to bulk metabolism (not electricity).- fMRI has better temporal (<100 ms) and spatial resolution (1 mm and less)- fMRI does not involve radioactive tracers and subjects can be measured repeatedly, over many trials.- PET images generally represent “idealized averages”. fMRI images are often registered with structural scans to show individual anatomy.- For both, images can be aligned for multiple subjects.- fMRI is widely available, PET is not.- fMRI does not allow localization of neurotransmitters or receptors etc.- For both, it can be tricky to get stimuli to the subject.

Data Analysis Issues
Neuroimaging (PET/fMRI): Activation values, spatial resolution, averaging, image alignment and registration.
EEG/MEG: Current source localization (inverse problem), time domain data sets, frequency power spectrum, correlation and coherency.

Summary
• Appropriate technology depends on question
• ERP has good temporal resolution
• CAT, Pet, MRI have good to fair spatial resolution, only PET has any functional capture
• fMRI has reasonably good spatial, reasonably good temporal, but is expensive
