Reaching resolution, however, does not always occur in a single step but instead may follow the accumulation of information over time. Here, we investigated changes in curiosity over a dynamic information-gathering process and how these changes related to affective and cognitive states as well as behavior. Human participants performed an Evolving Line Drawing Task, during which they reported guesses about the drawings' identities and made choices about whether to keep watching. In Study 1, the timing of choices was predetermined and externally imposed, while in Study 2, participants had agency in the timing of guesses and choices. Using this dynamic paradigm, we found that even within a single information-gathering episode, curiosity evolved in concert with other emotional states and with confidence. In both studies, we showed that the relationship between curiosity and confidence depended on stimulus entropy (unique guesses across participants) and on guess accuracy. We demonstrated that curiosity is multifaceted and can be experienced as either positive or negative depending on the state of information gathering. Critically, even when given the choice to alleviate uncertainty immediately (i.e., view a spoiler), higher curiosity promoted continuing to engage in the information-gathering process. Collectively, we show that curiosity changes over information accumulation to drive engagement with external stimuli, rather than to shortcut the path to resolution, highlighting the value inherent in the process of discovery.}, Doi = {10.1073/pnas.2301974120}, Key = {fds373515} } @article{fds372794, Author = {Wang, YC and Adcock, RA and Egner, T}, Title = {Toward an integrative account of internal and external determinants of event segmentation.}, Journal = {Psychon Bull Rev}, Year = {2023}, Month = {September}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3758/s13423-023-02375-2}, Abstract = {Our daily experiences unfold continuously, but we remember them as a series of discrete events through a process called event segmentation. Prominent theories of event segmentation suggest that event boundaries in memory are triggered by significant shifts in the external environment, such as a change in one's physical surroundings. In this review, we argue for a fundamental extension of this research field to also encompass internal state changes as playing a key role in structuring event memory. Accordingly, we propose an expanded taxonomy of event boundary-triggering processes, and review behavioral and neuroscience research on internal state changes in three core domains: affective states, goal states, and motivational states. Finally, we evaluate how well current theoretical frameworks can accommodate the unique and interactive contributions of internal states to event memory. We conclude that a theoretical perspective on event memory that integrates both external environment and internal state changes allows for a more complete understanding of how the brain structures experiences, with important implications for future research in cognitive and clinical neuroscience.}, Doi = {10.3758/s13423-023-02375-2}, Key = {fds372794} } @article{fds371224, Author = {Sinclair, AH and Wang, YC and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Instructed motivational states bias reinforcement learning and memory formation.}, Journal = {Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A}, Volume = {120}, Number = {31}, Pages = {e2304881120}, Year = {2023}, Month = {August}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2304881120}, Abstract = {Motivation influences goals, decisions, and memory formation. Imperative motivation links urgent goals to actions, narrowing the focus of attention and memory. Conversely, interrogative motivation integrates goals over time and space, supporting rich memory encoding for flexible future use. We manipulated motivational states via cover stories for a reinforcement learning task: The imperative group imagined executing a museum heist, whereas the interrogative group imagined planning a future heist. Participants repeatedly chose among four doors, representing different museum rooms, to sample trial-unique paintings with variable rewards (later converted to bonus payments). The next day, participants performed a surprise memory test. Crucially, only the cover stories differed between the imperative and interrogative groups; the reinforcement learning task was identical, and all participants had the same expectations about how and when bonus payments would be awarded. In an initial sample and a preregistered replication, we demonstrated that imperative motivation increased exploitation during reinforcement learning. Conversely, interrogative motivation increased directed (but not random) exploration, despite the cost to participants' earnings. At test, the interrogative group was more accurate at recognizing paintings and recalling associated values. In the interrogative group, higher value paintings were more likely to be remembered; imperative motivation disrupted this effect of reward modulating memory. Overall, we demonstrate that a prelearning motivational manipulation can bias learning and memory, bearing implications for education, behavior change, clinical interventions, and communication.}, Doi = {10.1073/pnas.2304881120}, Key = {fds371224} } @article{fds373427, Author = {Sinclair, AH and Taylor, MK and Brandel-Tanis, F and Davidson, A and Chande, AT and Rishishwar, L and Andris, C and Adcock, RA and Weitz, JS and Samanez-Larkin, GR and Beckett, SJ}, Title = {Communicating COVID-19 exposure risk with an interactive website counteracts risk misestimation.}, Journal = {PLoS One}, Volume = {18}, Number = {10}, Pages = {e0290708}, Year = {2023}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0290708}, Abstract = {During the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals depended on risk information to make decisions about everyday behaviors and public policy. Here, we assessed whether an interactive website influenced individuals' risk tolerance to support public health goals. We collected data from 11,169 unique users who engaged with the online COVID-19 Event Risk Tool (https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/) between 9/22/21 and 1/22/22. The website featured interactive elements, including a dynamic risk map, survey questions, and a risk quiz with accuracy feedback. After learning about the risk of COVID-19 exposure, participants reported being less willing to participate in events that could spread COVID-19, especially for high-risk large events. We also uncovered a bias in risk estimation: Participants tended to overestimate the risk of small events but underestimate the risk of large events. Importantly, even participants who voluntarily sought information about COVID risks tended to misestimate exposure risk, demonstrating the need for intervention. Participants from liberal-leaning counties were more likely to use the website tools and more responsive to feedback about risk misestimation, indicating that political partisanship influences how individuals seek and engage with COVID-19 information. Lastly, we explored temporal dynamics and found that user engagement and risk estimation fluctuated over the course of the Omicron variant outbreak. Overall, we report an effective large-scale method for communicating viral exposure risk; our findings are relevant to broader research on risk communication, epidemiological modeling, and risky decision-making.}, Doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0290708}, Key = {fds373427} } @article{fds367675, Author = {Poh, J-H and Vu, M-AT and Stanek, JK and Hsiung, A and Egner, T and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Hippocampal convergence during anticipatory midbrain activation promotes subsequent memory formation.}, Journal = {Nat Commun}, Volume = {13}, Number = {1}, Pages = {6729}, Year = {2022}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-34459-3}, Abstract = {The hippocampus has been a focus of memory research since H.M's surgery abolished his ability to form new memories, yet its mechanistic role in memory remains debated. Here, we identify a candidate memory mechanism: an anticipatory hippocampal "convergence state", observed while awaiting valuable information, and which predicts subsequent learning. During fMRI, participants viewed trivia questions eliciting high or low curiosity, followed seconds later by its answer. We reasoned that encoding success requires a confluence of conditions, so that hippocampal states more conducive to memory formation should converge in state space. To operationalize convergence of neural states, we quantified the typicality of multivoxel patterns in the medial temporal lobes during anticipation and encoding of trivia answers. We found that the typicality of anticipatory hippocampal patterns increased during high curiosity. Crucially, anticipatory hippocampal pattern typicality increased with dopaminergic midbrain activation and uniquely accounted for the association between midbrain activation and subsequent recall. We propose that hippocampal convergence states may complete a cascade from motivation and midbrain activation to memory enhancement, and may be a general predictor of memory formation.}, Doi = {10.1038/s41467-022-34459-3}, Key = {fds367675} } @article{fds362530, Author = {Chiew, KS and Harris, BB and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Remembering Election Night 2016: Subjective but not objective metrics of autobiographical memory vary with political affiliation, affective valence, and surprise.}, Journal = {J Exp Psychol Gen}, Volume = {151}, Number = {2}, Pages = {390-409}, Year = {2022}, Month = {February}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/xge0001080}, Abstract = {Flashbulb memories represent a unique phenomenon linking research on cognition with research on emotion, yet most studies on this phenomenon have characterized collective events that are negative and unexpected in nature. In contrast, the 2016 American election of Donald Trump was a public, culturally shared event, eliciting extreme emotional responses that were positive for some individuals but negative for others, as well as varying levels of surprise. We longitudinally evaluated autobiographical memories for Election Night 2016 in a large online sample of Clinton supporters, Trump supporters, and third-party/nonvoters over a 12-month period, in terms of both objective memory metrics (information quantity and memory consistency) and subjective memory metrics (including memory confidence, metacognition, and sensory experience). Emotional responses to the election outcome varied widely, with Clinton supporters reporting highly negative responses, Trump supporters reporting highly positive responses, and third-party/nonvoters reporting mildly negative responses. Emotional intensity was enhanced in surprised versus nonsurprised individuals. Relative to third-party/nonvoters, Clinton and Trump supporters reported greater memory vividness, event importance, and sensory experience. Additionally, limited valence effects on subjective memory were observed (including higher memory confidence in Trump supporters and higher memory rehearsal in Clinton supporters). These differences in subjective experience were observed despite similar levels of information quantity and consistency as a function of valence. This characterization of memories for surprising positive events suggests they share many of the paradoxical qualities of memories for negative events often discussed as "flashbulb memories" but also points to potential differences in memory phenomenology for personal versus collectively experienced events.

However, a considerably large ratio of participants undergoing neurofeedback training do not learn to control their own brain signals and, consequently, do not benefit from neurofeedback interventions, which limits clinical efficacy of neurofeedback interventions. As neurofeedback success varies between studies and participants, it is important to identify factors that might influence neurofeedback success. Here, for the first time, we employed a big data machine learning approach to investigate the influence of 20 different design-specific (e.g. activity vs. connectivity feedback), region of interest-specific (e.g. cortical vs. subcortical) and subject-specific factors (e.g. age) on neurofeedback performance and improvement in 608 participants from 28 independent experiments. With a classification accuracy of 60% (considerably different from chance level), we identified two factors that significantly influenced neurofeedback performance: Both the inclusion of a pre-training no-feedback run before neurofeedback training and neurofeedback training of patients as compared to healthy participants were associated with better neurofeedback performance. The positive effect of pre-training no-feedback runs on neurofeedback performance might be due to the familiarization of participants with the neurofeedback setup and the mental imagery task before neurofeedback training runs. Better performance of patients as compared to healthy participants might be driven by higher motivation of patients, higher ranges for the regulation of dysfunctional brain signals, or a more extensive piloting of clinical experimental paradigms. Due to the large heterogeneity of our dataset, these findings likely generalize across neurofeedback studies, thus providing guidance for designing more efficient neurofeedback studies specifically for improving clinical neurofeedback-based interventions. To facilitate the development of data-driven recommendations for specific design details and subpopulations the field would benefit from stronger engagement in open science research practices and data sharing.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118207}, Key = {fds362016} } @article{fds362017, Author = {Sinclair, AH and Hakimi, S and Stanley, ML and Adcock, RA and Samanez-Larkin, GR}, Title = {Pairing facts with imagined consequences improves pandemic-related risk perception.}, Journal = {Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A}, Volume = {118}, Number = {32}, Year = {2021}, Month = {August}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2100970118}, Abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic reached staggering new peaks during a global resurgence more than a year after the crisis began. Although public health guidelines initially helped to slow the spread of disease, widespread pandemic fatigue and prolonged harm to financial stability and mental well-being contributed to this resurgence. In the late stage of the pandemic, it became clear that new interventions were needed to support long-term behavior change. Here, we examined subjective perceived risk about COVID-19 and the relationship between perceived risk and engagement in risky behaviors. In study 1 (n = 303), we found that subjective perceived risk was likely inaccurate but predicted compliance with public health guidelines. In study 2 (n = 735), we developed a multifaceted intervention designed to realign perceived risk with actual risk. Participants completed an episodic simulation task; we expected that imagining a COVID-related scenario would increase the salience of risk information and enhance behavior change. Immediately following the episodic simulation, participants completed a risk estimation task with individualized feedback about local viral prevalence. We found that information prediction error, a measure of surprise, drove beneficial change in perceived risk and willingness to engage in risky activities. Imagining a COVID-related scenario beforehand enhanced the effect of prediction error on learning. Importantly, our intervention produced lasting effects that persisted after a 1- to 3-wk delay.

Older adults have been at substantially greater risk of hospitalization, ICU admission, and death due to COVID-19; as of February 2021, over 81% of COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. occurred for people over the age of 651,2. Converging evidence from around the world suggests that age is the greatest risk factor for severe COVID-19 illness and for the experience of adverse health outcomes3,4. Therefore, effectively communicating health-related risk information requires tailoring interventions to older adults' needs5. Using a novel informational intervention with a nationally-representative sample of 546 U.S. residents, we found that older adults reported increased perceived risk of COVID-19 transmission after imagining a personalized scenario with social consequences. Although older adults tended to forget numerical information over time, the personalized simulations elicited increases in perceived risk that persisted over a 1-3 week delay. Overall, our results bear broad implications for communicating information about health risks to older adults, and they suggest new strategies to combat annual influenza outbreaks.}, Doi = {10.1038/s43587-021-00095-7}, Key = {fds362018} } @article{fds362015, Author = {Dickerson, K and Poh, J-H and Hakimi, S and Wright, R and Eom, K and Muzekari, B and Kollins, S and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Cognitive Neurostimulation of Dopaminergic Midbrain via fMRI Neurofeedback Training Increases Willingness to Exert Effort in ADHD}, Journal = {NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY}, Volume = {46}, Number = {SUPPL 1}, Pages = {134-134}, Year = {2021}, Key = {fds362015} } @article{fds352043, Author = {Haugg, A and Sladky, R and Skouras, S and McDonald, A and Craddock, C and Kirschner, M and Herdener, M and Koush, Y and Papoutsi, M and Keynan, JN and Hendler, T and Cohen Kadosh and K and Zich, C and MacInnes, J and Adcock, RA and Dickerson, K and Chen, N-K and Young, K and Bodurka, J and Yao, S and Becker, B and Auer, T and Schweizer, R and Pamplona, G and Emmert, K and Haller, S and Van De Ville and D and Blefari, M-L and Kim, D-Y and Lee, J-H and Marins, T and Fukuda, M and Sorger, B and Kamp, T and Liew, S-L and Veit, R and Spetter, M and Weiskopf, N and Scharnowski, F}, Title = {Can we predict real-time fMRI neurofeedback learning success from pretraining brain activity?}, Journal = {Hum Brain Mapp}, Volume = {41}, Number = {14}, Pages = {3839-3854}, Year = {2020}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/hbm.25089}, Abstract = {Neurofeedback training has been shown to influence behavior in healthy participants as well as to alleviate clinical symptoms in neurological, psychosomatic, and psychiatric patient populations. However, many real-time fMRI neurofeedback studies report large inter-individual differences in learning success. The factors that cause this vast variability between participants remain unknown and their identification could enhance treatment success. Thus, here we employed a meta-analytic approach including data from 24 different neurofeedback studies with a total of 401 participants, including 140 patients, to determine whether levels of activity in target brain regions during pretraining functional localizer or no-feedback runs (i.e., self-regulation in the absence of neurofeedback) could predict neurofeedback learning success. We observed a slightly positive correlation between pretraining activity levels during a functional localizer run and neurofeedback learning success, but we were not able to identify common brain-based success predictors across our diverse cohort of studies.

This flexibility resulted in sizeable variation in the results of hypothesis tests, even for teams whose statistical maps were highly correlated at intermediate stages of the analysis pipeline. Variation in reported results was related to several aspects of analysis methodology.

We examine the mechanisms of this shift in neural processing, showing that prediction errors disrupt the temporal continuity of hippocampal patterns. We propose that prediction errors disrupt sustained representations and enable memory updating. Our findings bear implications for improving education, understanding eyewitness memory distortion, and treating pathological memories.}, Doi = {10.1101/2020.09.29.319418}, Key = {fds374095} } @article{fds352045, Author = {Ho, NF and Holt, DJ and Cheung, M and Iglesias, JE and Goh, A and Wang, M and Lim, JKW and de Souza, J and Poh, JS and See, YM and Adcock, RA and Wood, SJ and Chee, MWL and Lee, J and Zhou, J}, Title = {Correction: Progressive decline in hippocampal CA1 volume in individuals at ultra-high-risk for psychosis who do not remit: findings from the longitudinal youth at risk study.}, Journal = {Neuropsychopharmacology}, Volume = {44}, Number = {12}, Pages = {2144}, Year = {2019}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41386-019-0477-6}, Abstract = {An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper.}, Doi = {10.1038/s41386-019-0477-6}, Key = {fds352045} } @article{fds352046, Author = {Stanek, JK and Dickerson, KC and Chiew, KS and Clement, NJ and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Expected Reward Value and Reward Uncertainty Have Temporally Dissociable Effects on Memory Formation.}, Journal = {J Cogn Neurosci}, Volume = {31}, Number = {10}, Pages = {1443-1454}, Year = {2019}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_01411}, Abstract = {Anticipating rewards has been shown to enhance memory formation. Although substantial evidence implicates dopamine in this behavioral effect, the precise mechanisms remain ambiguous. Because dopamine nuclei have been associated with two distinct physiological signatures of reward prediction, we hypothesized two dissociable effects on memory formation. These two signatures are a phasic dopamine response immediately following a reward cue that encodes its expected value and a sustained, ramping response that has been demonstrated during high reward uncertainty [Fiorillo, C. D., Tobler, P. N., & Schultz, W. Discrete coding of reward probability and uncertainty by dopamine neurons. Science, 299, 1898-1902, 2003]. Here, we show in humans that the impact of reward anticipation on memory for an event depends on its timing relative to these physiological signatures. By manipulating reward probability (100%, 50%, or 0%) and the timing of the event to be encoded (just after the reward cue versus just before expected reward outcome), we demonstrated the predicted double dissociation: Early during reward anticipation, memory formation was improved by increased expected reward value, whereas late during reward anticipation, memory formation was enhanced by reward uncertainty. Notably, although the memory benefits of high expected reward in the early interval were consolidation dependent, the memory benefits of high uncertainty in the later interval were not. These findings support the view that expected reward benefits memory consolidation via phasic dopamine release. The novel finding of a distinct memory enhancement, temporally consistent with sustained anticipatory dopamine release, points toward new mechanisms of memory modulation by reward now ripe for further investigation.}, Doi = {10.1162/jocn_a_01411}, Key = {fds352046} } @article{fds352047, Author = {Erwin, SR and Ng, S and Hakimi, S and Shrestha, S and Silberstein, K and Wright, R and Adcock, RA and Zucker, NL}, Title = {2.19 HARNESSING PERFECTIONISM: THE ROLE OF EMOTION REGULATION AND REWARD EXPERIENCE}, Journal = {Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry}, Volume = {58}, Number = {10}, Pages = {S177-S177}, Publisher = {Elsevier BV}, Year = {2019}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaac.2019.08.111}, Doi = {10.1016/j.jaac.2019.08.111}, Key = {fds352047} } @article{fds352048, Author = {Adcock, R and Dickerson, K and MacInnes, J and Adcock, RA}, Title = {144.

We hypothesized that showing participants the impact of specific CBT strategies on their own brain function using real-time functional magnetic imaging (rt-fMRI) neurofeedback would increase their metacognitive awareness, help them identify effective strategies, and motivate real-world use. In a within-subjects design, participants who had completed a clinical trial of a standardized course of CBT created a personal repertoire of negative autobiographical stimuli and mood regulation strategies. From each participant's repertoire, a set of experimental and control strategies were identified; only experimental strategies were practiced in the scanner. During the rt-fMRI neurofeedback session, participants used negative stimuli and strategies from their repertoire to manipulate activation in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region implicated in emotional distress. The primary outcome measures were changes in participant ratings of strategy difficulty, efficacy, and frequency of use. As predicted, ratings for unscanned control strategies were stable across observations, whereas ratings for experimental strategies changed after neurofeedback. At follow-up one month after the session, efficacy and frequency ratings for scanned strategies were predicted by neurofeedback during the rt-fMRI session. These results suggest that rt-fMRI neurofeedback created a salient and durable learning experience for patients, extending beyond the scan session to guide and motivate CBT skill use weeks later. This metacognitive approach to neurofeedback offers a promising model for increasing clinical benefits from cognitive behavioral therapy by personalizing skills and facilitating generalization.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.nicl.2018.06.009}, Key = {fds339377} } @article{fds343625, Author = {Dickerson, K and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Motivation and Memory}, Journal = {Stevens' Handbook of Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience}, Volume = {1.

In this exploratory study, we utilized an available dataset to investigate how aspects of health commonly deteriorating with age, including sensory (i.e., vision and hearing) and cognitive status, relate to variability in self-described contributors to happiness. Community-dwelling seniors (n = 114) responded to a single-item prompt: "name things that make people happy." 1731 responses were categorized into 13 domains of SWB via structured content analysis. Sensory health and cognition were assessed by Snellen visual acuity, pure-tone audiometry, and in-person administration of the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (BTACT) battery. A subset of eligible participants (n = 57) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess resting state functional connectivity (FC) within a previously described dopaminergic network associated with reward processing. SWB response patterns were relatively stable across gender, sensory status, and cognitive performance with few exceptions. For example, hearing-impaired participants listed fewer determinants of SWB (13.59 vs. 17.16; p < 0.001) and were less likely to name things in the "special events" category. Participants with a higher proportion of responses in the "accomplishments" domain (e.g., winning, getting good grades) demonstrated increased FC between the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens, regions implicated in reward and motivated behavior. While the framework for determinants of happiness among seniors was largely stable across the factors assessed here, our findings suggest that subtle changes in this construct may be linked to sensory loss.

Exploration has been posited as a mechanism by which motivation promotes memory, but this relationship is not well-understood, in part because novel stimuli that motivate exploration also reliably elicit changes in neuromodulatory brain systems that directly alter memory formation, via effects on neural plasticity. To deconfound interrelationships between motivation, exploration, and memory formation we manipulated motivational state prior to entering a spatial context, measured exploratory responses to the context and novel stimuli within it, and then examined motivation and exploration as predictors of memory outcomes. To elicit spontaneous exploration, we used the physical space of an art exhibit with affectively rich content; we expected motivated exploration and memory to reflect multiple factors, including not only motivational valence, but also individual differences. Motivation was manipulated via an introductory statement framing exhibit themes in terms of Promotion- or Prevention-oriented goals. Participants explored the exhibit while being tracked by video. They returned 24 hours later for recall and spatial memory tests, followed by measures of motivation, personality, and relevant attitude variables. Promotion and Prevention condition participants did not differ in terms of group-level exploration time or memory metrics, suggesting similar motivation to explore under both framing contexts. However, exploratory behavior and memory outcomes were significantly more closely related under Promotion than Prevention, indicating that Prevention framing disrupted expected depth-of-encoding effects. Additionally, while trait measures predicted exploration similarly across framing conditions, traits interacted with motivational framing context and facial affect to predict memory outcomes. This novel characterization of motivated learning implies that dissociable behavioral and biological mechanisms, here varying as a function of valence, contribute to memory outcomes in complex, real-life environments.}, Doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0193506}, Key = {fds341288} } @article{fds319596, Author = {Scult, MA and Knodt, AR and Hanson, JL and Ryoo, M and Adcock, RA and Hariri, AR and Strauman, TJ}, Title = {Individual differences in regulatory focus predict neural response to reward.}, Journal = {Soc Neurosci}, Volume = {12}, Number = {4}, Pages = {419-429}, Year = {2017}, Month = {August}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17470919.2016.1178170}, Abstract = {Although goal pursuit is related to both functioning of the brain's reward circuits and psychological factors, the literatures surrounding these concepts have often been separate.

The monetary incentive delay task was used to manipulate reward circuit function, along with instructional framing corresponding to promotion and prevention in a within-subject design. We observed that the more promotion oriented an individual was, the lower their ventral striatum response to gain cues. Follow-up analyses revealed that greater promotion orientation was associated with decreased ventral striatum response even to no-value cues, suggesting that promotion orientation may be associated with relatively hypoactive reward system function.

No baseline differences in volumes of the overall hippocampus or its subfields were found among the groups. Moreover, the rate of volume decline of CA1, but not of other hippocampal subfields, in the non-remitters was associated with increasing symptom severity over time.

Nevertheless, little is known about the functional and structural dysconnectivity of SN in subjects at risk for psychosis. We hypothesized that SN functional and structural connectivity would be disrupted in subjects with At-Risk Mental State (ARMS) and would be associated with symptom severity and disease progression. METHOD: We examined 87 ARMS and 37 healthy participants using both resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging. Group differences in SN functional and structural connectivity were examined using a seed-based approach and tract-based spatial statistics. Subject-level functional connectivity measures and diffusion indices of disrupted regions were correlated with CAARMS scores and compared between ARMS with and without transition to psychosis. RESULTS: ARMS subjects exhibited reduced functional connectivity between the left ventral anterior insula and other SN regions. Reduced fractional anisotropy (FA) and axial diffusivity were also found along white-matter tracts in close proximity to regions of disrupted functional connectivity, including frontal-striatal-thalamic circuits and the cingulum. FA measures extracted from these disrupted white-matter regions correlated with individual symptom severity in the ARMS group.

The medial temporal lobe memory system, including the hippocampus and surrounding cortex, encodes surprising events and is influenced by motivational state. Because behavior reflects the goals of an individual, we investigated whether motivational valence (i.e., pursuing rewards versus avoiding punishments) also impacts neural and mnemonic encoding of surprising events. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), participants encountered perceptually unexpected events either during the pursuit of rewards or avoidance of punishments. Despite similar levels of motivation across groups, reward and punishment facilitated the processing of surprising events in different medial temporal lobe regions. Whereas during reward motivation, perceptual surprises enhanced activation in the hippocampus, during punishment motivation surprises instead enhanced activation in parahippocampal cortex. Further, we found that reward motivation facilitated hippocampal coupling with ventromedial PFC, whereas punishment motivation facilitated parahippocampal cortical coupling with orbitofrontal cortex. Behaviorally, post-scan testing revealed that reward, but not punishment, motivation resulted in greater memory selectivity for surprising events encountered during goal pursuit. Together these findings demonstrate that neuromodulatory systems engaged by anticipation of reward and punishment target separate components of the medial temporal lobe, modulating medial temporal lobe sensitivity and connectivity. Thus, reward and punishment motivation yield distinct neural contexts for learning, with distinct consequences for how surprises are incorporated into predictive mnemonic models of the environment.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.nlm.2016.01.018}, Key = {fds311784} } @article{fds311783, Author = {MacInnes, JJ and Dickerson, KC and Chen, N-K and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Cognitive Neurostimulation: Learning to Volitionally Sustain Ventral Tegmental Area Activation.}, Journal = {Neuron}, Volume = {89}, Number = {6}, Pages = {1331-1342}, Publisher = {Elsevier (Cell Press)}, Year = {2016}, Month = {March}, ISSN = {0896-6273}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2016.02.002}, Abstract = {Activation of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and mesolimbic networks is essential to motivation, performance, and learning.

Adult smokers (n=40) photographed locations personally associated with smoking (personal smoking environments; PSEs) or personal nonsmoking environment (PNEs). Following 24-h abstinence, participants underwent fMRI scanning while viewing PSEs, PNEs, standard smoking and nonsmoking environments, as well as proximal smoking (eg, lit cigarette) and nonsmoking (eg, pencil) cues.

This modulation operates at multiple timescales, but the functional roles of these distinct dynamics on cognition are still being characterized. Reward processing has been robustly linked to DA activity; thus, examining behavioral effects of reward anticipation at different timing intervals, corresponding to different putative dopaminergic dynamics, may help in characterizing the functional role of these dynamics. Towards this end, we present two research studies investigating reward motivation effects on cognitive control and episodic memory, converging in their manipulation of rapid vs. multi-second reward anticipation (consistent with timing profiles of phasic vs. ramping DA, respectively) on performance. Under prolonged reward anticipation, both control and memory performances were enhanced, specifically when combined with other experimental factors: task-informative cues (control task) and reward uncertainty (memory task). Given observations of ramping DA under uncertainty (Fiorillo et al., 2003) and arguments that uncertainty may act as a control signal increasing environmental monitoring (Mushtaq et al., 2011), we suggest that task information and reward uncertainty can both serve as "need for control" signals that facilitate learning via enhanced monitoring, and that this activity may be supported by a ramping profile of dopaminergic activity. Observations of rapid (i.e., phasic) reward on control and memory performance can be interpreted in line with prior evidence, but review indicates that contributions of different dopaminergic timescales in these processes are not well-understood. Future experimental work to clarify these dynamics and characterize a cross-domain role for reward motivation and DA in goal-directed behavior is suggested.}, Doi = {10.3389/fnhum.2016.00555}, Key = {fds322745} } @article{fds300279, Author = {Klauser, P and Zhou, J and Lim, JKW and Poh, JS and Zheng, H and Tng, HY and Krishnan, R and Lee, J and Keefe, RSE and Adcock, RA and Wood, SJ and Fornito, A and Chee, MWL}, Title = {Lack of Evidence for Regional Brain Volume or Cortical Thickness Abnormalities in Youths at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis: Findings From the Longitudinal Youth at Risk Study.}, Journal = {Schizophr Bull}, Volume = {41}, Number = {6}, Pages = {1285-1293}, Year = {2015}, Month = {November}, ISSN = {0586-7614}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sbv012}, Abstract = {There is cumulative evidence that young people in an "at-risk mental state" (ARMS) for psychosis show structural brain abnormalities in frontolimbic areas, comparable to, but less extensive than those reported in established schizophrenia.

Multiple organizational schemes based on anatomy and function have been proposed for dopaminergic nuclei in the midbrain. One schema originating in rodent models delineated ventral tegmental area (VTA), implicated in complex behaviors like addiction, from more lateral substantia nigra (SN), preferentially implicated in movement. However, because anatomy and function in rodent midbrain differs from the primate midbrain in important ways, the utility of this distinction for human neuroscience has been questioned. We asked whether functional definition of networks within the human dopaminergic midbrain would recapitulate this traditional anatomical topology. We first developed a method for reliably defining SN and VTA in humans at conventional MRI resolution. Hand-drawn VTA and SN regions-of-interest (ROIs) were constructed for 50 participants, using individually-localized anatomical landmarks and signal intensity. Individual segmentation was used in seed-based functional connectivity analysis of resting-state functional MRI data; results of this analysis recapitulated traditional anatomical targets of the VTA versus SN. Next, we constructed a probabilistic atlas of the VTA, SN, and the dopaminergic midbrain region (comprised of SN plus VTA) from individual hand-drawn ROIs. The combined probabilistic (SN plus VTA) ROI was then used for connectivity-based dual-regression analysis in two independent resting-state datasets (n = 69 and n = 79). Results of the connectivity-based, dual-regression functional segmentation recapitulated results of the anatomical segmentation, validating the utility of this probabilistic atlas for future research.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.neuroimage.2014.06.047}, Key = {fds270237} } @article{fds270252, Author = {Murty, VP and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Enriched encoding: reward motivation organizes cortical networks for hippocampal detection of unexpected events.}, Journal = {Cereb Cortex}, Volume = {24}, Number = {8}, Pages = {2160-2168}, Year = {2014}, Month = {August}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23529005}, Abstract = {Learning how to obtain rewards requires learning about their contexts and likely causes. How do long-term memory mechanisms balance the need to represent potential determinants of reward outcomes with the computational burden of an over-inclusive memory? One solution would be to enhance memory for salient events that occur during reward anticipation, because all such events are potential determinants of reward. We tested whether reward motivation enhances encoding of salient events like expectancy violations. During functional magnetic resonance imaging, participants performed a reaction-time task in which goal-irrelevant expectancy violations were encountered during states of high- or low-reward motivation. Motivation amplified hippocampal activation to and declarative memory for expectancy violations. Connectivity of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) with medial prefrontal, ventrolateral prefrontal, and visual cortices preceded and predicted this increase in hippocampal sensitivity. These findings elucidate a novel mechanism whereby reward motivation can enhance hippocampus-dependent memory: anticipatory VTA-cortical-hippocampal interactions. Further, the findings integrate literatures on dopaminergic neuromodulation of prefrontal function and hippocampus-dependent memory. We conclude that during reward motivation, VTA modulation induces distributed neural changes that amplify hippocampal signals and records of expectancy violations to improve predictions-a potentially unique contribution of the hippocampus to reward learning.}, Doi = {10.1093/cercor/bht063}, Key = {fds270252} } @article{fds270241, Author = {Kollins, SH and Adcock, RA}, Title = {ADHD, altered dopamine neurotransmission, and disrupted reinforcement processes: implications for smoking and nicotine dependence.}, Journal = {Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry}, Volume = {52}, Pages = {70-78}, Year = {2014}, Month = {July}, ISSN = {0278-5846}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pnpbp.2014.02.002}, Abstract = {Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and impairing disorder affecting millions of children, adolescents, and adults.

ARMS subjects also showed increased functional connectivity between the ventral putamen and the insula, frontal operculum, and superior temporal gyrus bilaterally. No differences in ventral striatal (ie, nucleus accumbens) functional connectivity were found.

The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans to examine mechanisms of declarative memory enhancement when subjects were motivated to avoid punishments that were contingent on forgetting. A motivational cue on each trial informed participants whether they would be punished or not for forgetting an upcoming scene image. Items associated with the threat of shock were better recognized 24 h later. Punishment-motivated enhancements in subsequent memory were associated with anticipatory activation of right amygdala and increases in its functional connectivity with parahippocampal and orbitofrontal cortices. On a trial-by-trial basis, right amygdala activation during the motivational cue predicted hippocampal activation during encoding of the subsequent scene; across participants, the strength of this interaction predicted memory advantages due to motivation. Of note, punishment-motivated learning was not associated with activation of dopaminergic midbrain, as would be predicted by valence-independent models of motivation to learn. These data are consistent with the view that motivation by punishment activates the amygdala, which in turn prepares the medial temporal lobe for memory formation. The findings further suggest a brain system for declarative learning motivated by punishment that is distinct from that for learning motivated by reward.}, Doi = {10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0094-12.2012}, Key = {fds270268} } @article{fds300283, Author = {Johnson, EB and Wilson, J and Poh, J and Yaakub, S and Dorairaj, K and Rapisarda, A and Chee, M and Chong, SA and Subramaniam, M and Keefe, R and Kraus, M and Thong, J and Bong, YL and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Midbrain Modulation of Hippocampus Dependent Learning in Singaporeans at Ultra High Risk for the Development of Schizophrenia}, Journal = {BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY}, Volume = {71}, Number = {8}, Pages = {254S-254S}, Publisher = {ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC}, Year = {2012}, Month = {April}, ISSN = {0006-3223}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000302466001118&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Key = {fds300283} } @article{fds270266, Author = {Ballard, IC and Murty, VP and Carter, RM and MacInnes, JJ and Huettel, SA and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex drives mesolimbic dopaminergic regions to initiate motivated behavior.}, Journal = {J Neurosci}, Volume = {31}, Number = {28}, Pages = {10340-10346}, Year = {2011}, Month = {July}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21753011}, Abstract = {How does the brain translate information signaling potential rewards into motivation to get them? Motivation to obtain reward is thought to depend on the midbrain [particularly the ventral tegmental area (VTA)], the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), but it is not clear how the interactions among these regions relate to reward-motivated behavior. To study the influence of motivation on these reward-responsive regions and on their interactions, we used dynamic causal modeling to analyze functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from humans performing a simple task designed to isolate reward anticipation. The use of fMRI permitted the simultaneous measurement of multiple brain regions while human participants anticipated and prepared for opportunities to obtain reward, thus allowing characterization of how information about reward changes physiology underlying motivational drive. Furthermore, we modeled the impact of external reward cues on causal relationships within this network, thus elaborating a link between physiology, connectivity, and motivation. Specifically, our results indicated that dlPFC was the exclusive entry point of information about reward in this network, and that anticipated reward availability caused VTA activation only via its effect on the dlPFC. Anticipated reward thus increased dlPFC activation directly, whereas it influenced VTA and NAcc only indirectly, by enhancing intrinsically weak or inactive pathways from the dlPFC. Our findings of a directional prefrontal influence on dopaminergic regions during reward anticipation suggest a model in which the dlPFC integrates and transmits representations of reward to the mesolimbic and mesocortical dopamine systems, thereby initiating motivated behavior.}, Doi = {10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0895-11.2011}, Key = {fds270266} } @article{fds270265, Author = {Whitford, TJ and Mathalon, DH and Shenton, ME and Roach, BJ and Bammer, R and Adcock, RA and Bouix, S and Kubicki, M and De Siebenthal and J and Rausch, AC and Schneiderman, JS and Ford, JM}, Title = {Electrophysiological and diffusion tensor imaging evidence of delayed corollary discharges in patients with schizophrenia.}, Journal = {Psychol Med}, Volume = {41}, Number = {5}, Pages = {959-969}, Year = {2011}, Month = {May}, ISSN = {0033-2917}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0033291710001376}, Abstract = {BACKGROUND: Patients with schizophrenia (SZ) characteristically exhibit supranormal levels of cortical activity to self-induced sensory stimuli, ostensibly because of abnormalities in the neural signals (corollary discharges, CDs) normatively involved in suppressing the sensory consequences of self-generated actions. The nature of these abnormalities is unknown. This study investigated whether SZ patients experience CDs that are abnormally delayed in their arrival at the sensory cortex. METHOD: Twenty-one patients with SZ and 25 matched control participants underwent electroencephalography (EEG). Participants' level of cortical suppression was calculated as the amplitude of the N1 component evoked by a button press-elicited auditory stimulus, subtracted from the N1 amplitude evoked by the same stimulus presented passively. In the three experimental conditions, the auditory stimulus was delivered 0, 50 or 100 ms subsequent to the button-press. Fifteen SZ patients and 17 healthy controls (HCs) also underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and the fractional anisotropy (FA) of participants' arcuate fasciculus was used to predict their level of cortical suppression in the three conditions. RESULTS: While the SZ patients exhibited subnormal N1 suppression to undelayed, self-generated auditory stimuli, these deficits were eliminated by imposing a 50-ms, but not a 100-ms, delay between the button-press and the evoked stimulus. Furthermore, the extent to which the 50-ms delay normalized a patient's level of N1 suppression was linearly related to the FA of their arcuate fasciculus. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that SZ patients experience temporally delayed CDs to self-generated auditory stimuli, putatively because of structural damage to the white-matter (WM) fasciculus connecting the sites of discharge initiation and destination.}, Doi = {10.1017/S0033291710001376}, Key = {fds270265} } @article{fds300284, Author = {Murty, VP and Chong, SA and Subramaniam, M and Keefe, R and Kraus, M and Poh, J and Dorairaj, K and Thong, J and Bong, YL and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Amygdala Reactivity in Singaporeans at Ultra High Risk for the Development of Schizophrenia}, Journal = {BIOLOGICAL PSYCHIATRY}, Volume = {69}, Number = {9}, Pages = {235S-235S}, Publisher = {ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC}, Year = {2011}, Month = {May}, ISSN = {0006-3223}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000290641800747&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Key = {fds300284} } @article{fds270264, Author = {Murty, VP and Ritchey, M and Adcock, RA and LaBar, KS}, Title = {Reprint of: fMRI studies of successful emotional memory encoding: a quantitative meta-analysis.}, Journal = {Neuropsychologia}, Volume = {49}, Number = {4}, Pages = {695-705}, Year = {2011}, Month = {March}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21414466}, Abstract = {Over the past decade, fMRI techniques have been increasingly used to interrogate the neural correlates of successful emotional memory encoding.

To manipulate motivational states participants were either rewarded for navigating to correct locations (approach) or punished for navigating to incorrect platforms (avoidance). Participants' skin conductance levels (SCLs) were recorded during navigation to investigate the role of physiological arousal in motivated learning. Behavioral results revealed that, overall, approach motivation enhanced and avoidance motivation impaired memory performance compared to nonmotivated spatial learning. This advantage was evident across several performance indices, including accuracy, learning rate, path length, and proximity to platform locations during probe trials. SCL analysis revealed three key findings. First, within subjects, arousal interacted with approach motivation, such that high arousal on a given trial was associated with performance deficits. In addition, across subjects, high arousal negated or reversed the benefits of approach motivation. Finally, low-performing, highly aroused participants showed SCL responses similar to those of avoidance-motivation participants, suggesting that for these individuals, opportunities for reward may evoke states of learning similar to those typically evoked by threats of punishment.

In this study we examined the early neural response dynamics to rapidly-presented successive syllables in schizophrenia participants and healthy comparison subjects, and investigated the effects of noise on these responses. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to reveal the time-course of stimulus-locked activity over bilateral auditory cortices during discrimination of syllable pairs that differed either in voice onset time (VOT) or place of articulation (POA), in the presence or absence of noise. We also examined the association of these early neural response patterns to higher-order cognitive functions. The M100 response, arising from auditory cortex and its immediate environs, showed less attenuation to the second syllable in patients with schizophrenia than healthy comparison subjects during VOT-based discrimination in noise. M100 response amplitudes were similar between groups for the first syllable during all three discrimination conditions, and for the second syllable during VOT-based discrimination in quiet and POA-based discrimination in noise. Across subjects, the lack of M100 attenuation to the second syllable during VOT-based discrimination in noise was associated with poorer task accuracy, lower education and IQ, and lower scores on measures of Verbal Learning and Memory and Global Cognition. Because the neural response to the first syllable was not significantly different between groups, nor was a schizophrenia-related difference obtained in all discrimination tasks, early linguistic processing dysfunction in schizophrenia does not appear to be due to general sensory input problems. Rather, data suggest that faulty temporal integration occurs during successive syllable processing when the signal-to-noise ratio is low. Further, the neural mechanism by which the second syllable is suppressed during noise-challenged VOT discrimination appears to be important for higher-order cognition and provides a promising target for neuroscience-guided cognitive training approaches to schizophrenia.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.ijpsycho.2009.10.009}, Key = {fds270260} } @article{fds270259, Author = {Adcock, RA and Dale, C and Fisher, M and Aldebot, S and Genevsky, A and Simpson, GV and Nagarajan, S and Vinogradov, S}, Title = {When top-down meets bottom-up: auditory training enhances verbal memory in schizophrenia.}, Journal = {Schizophr Bull}, Volume = {35}, Number = {6}, Pages = {1132-1141}, Year = {2009}, Month = {November}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19745022}, Abstract = {A critical research priority for our field is to develop treatments that enhance cognitive functioning in schizophrenia and thereby attenuate the functional losses associated with the illness.

In the present chapter, we review recent cognitive neuroscience evidence of motivational influences on memory, with a focus on anatomical pathways by which neuromodulatory networks support encoding-related activity in distinct subregions of the medial temporal lobe. We argue that engagement of distinct neural circuits as a function of motivational context at encoding leads to formation of different memory representations, supporting different patterns of adaptive behavior. We present a novel neurocognitive model, the Interrogative/Imperative model of information-seeking, to account for pursuit of learning goals. Interrogative or imperative modes of information-seeking are often, but not necessarily, associated with approach or avoidance motivation, respectively. We also discuss additional influences on motivated memory encoding, including intrinsic motivation, curiosity, choice, and cognitive control processes. Taken together, this body of research suggests that the nature of memory representations depends on an individual's neurophysiological response to, rather than extrinsic qualities of, a given motivational manipulation or context at the time of encoding. Finally, we discuss potential applications of these research findings to real-life educational settings and directions for future research.}, Key = {fds362020} } @misc{fds341289, Author = {Murty, VP and Adcock, RA}, Title = {Distinct medial temporal lobe network states as neural contexts for motivated memory formation}, Pages = {467-501}, Booktitle = {The Hippocampus from Cells to Systems: Structure, Connectivity, and Functional Contributions to Memory and Flexible Cognition}, Year = {2017}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9783319504056}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50406-3_15}, Abstract = {In this chapter we examine how motivation creates a neural context for learning by dynamically engaging medial temporal lobe (MTL) systems. We review findings demonstrating that distinct modulatory networks, centered on the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and amygdala, are coherently recruited during specific motivational states and shunt encoding to hippocampal versus cortical MTL systems during learning. We posit that these shifts in encoding substrate serve to tailor both the content and form of memory representations, and speculate that these different representations support current and future adaptive behavior.}, Doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-50406-3_15}, Key = {fds341289} } | |
