Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series: Cortical鈥揝ubcortical Interactions Underlie Processing of Auditory Predictions Measured With 7T fMRI
La s茅rie Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar s鈥檌nscrit dans la ligne de pens茅e du Dr鈥疻illiam Feindel (1918-2014), directeur du Neuro de 1972 脿 1984, qui consiste 脿 maintenir un lien constant entre pratique clinique et recherche. Les pr茅sentations porteront sur les derni猫res avanc茅es et d茅couvertes en neuropsychologie, en neurosciences cognitives et en neuro-imagerie.听
Les scientifiques du Neuro, ainsi que des coll猫gues et collaborateurs venus du milieu ou du monde entier, se chargeront des conf茅rences. Cette s茅rie se veut un forum virtuel pour les chercheurs et les stagiaires en vue de favoriser les 茅changes interdisciplinaires sur les m茅canismes des troubles c茅r茅braux et cognitifs, leur diagnostic et leur traitement.听

础产蝉迟谤补肠迟:听Perception integrates both sensory inputs and internal models of the environment. In the auditory domain, predictions play a critical role because of the temporal nature of sounds. However, the precise contribution of cortical and subcortical structures in these processes and their interaction remain unclear. It is also unclear whether these brain interactions are specific to abstract rules or if they also underlie the predictive coding of local features. We used high-field 7T functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate interactions between cortical and subcortical areas during auditory predictive processing. Volunteers listened to tone sequences in an oddball paradigm where the predictability of the deviant was manipulated. Perturbations in periodicity were also introduced to test the specificity of the response. Results indicate that both cortical and subcortical auditory structures encode high-order predictive dynamics, with the effect of predictability being strongest in the auditory cortex. These predictive dynamics were best explained by modeling a top鈥揹own information flow, in contrast to unpredicted responses. No error signals were observed to deviations of periodicity, suggesting that these responses are specific to abstract rule violations. Our results support the idea that the high-order predictive dynamics observed in subcortical areas propagate from the auditory cortex.
