Single-neuron recording studies in non-human primates indicate that orbitofrontal cortex neurons represent the reward value of sight, smell and taste food, even changes relative value, but provide no direct evidence on brain activity is correlated with subjective reports pleasantness food. In this fMRI investigation we report a significant correlation between activation region human decrease when liquid food eaten to satiety. Moreover, cluster voxels showed its was specific particular...
Abstract The functional architecture of the central taste and olfactory systems in primates provides evidence that convergence smell information onto single neurons is realized caudal orbitofrontal cortex (and immediately adjacent agranular insula). These higher‐order association cortical areas thus support flavour processing. Much less known, however, about homologous regions human cortex, or how taste–odour interactions, perception, are implemented brain. We performed an event‐related fMRI...
Abstract Odours are important in emotional processing; yet relatively little is known about the representations of affective qualities odours human brain. We found that three pleasant and unpleasant activated dissociable parts Pleasant but not were to activate a medial region rostral orbitofrontal cortex. Further, there was correlation between subjective pleasantness ratings six given during investigation with activation In contrast, unpleasantness regions left more lateral Moreover, double...
In the human brain, spontaneous activity during resting state consists of rapid transitions between functional network states over time but underlying mechanisms are not understood. We use connectome based computational brain modeling to reveal fundamental principles how generates large-scale observable by noninvasive neuroimaging. used structural and neuroimaging data construct whole- models. With this novel approach, we that operates at maximum metastability, i.e. in a switching. addition,...
Growing evidence has shown that brain activity at rest slowly wanders through a repertoire of different states, where whole-brain functional connectivity (FC) temporarily settles into distinct FC patterns. Nevertheless, the role resting-state remains unclear. Here, we investigate how switching behavior relates with cognitive performance in healthy older adults. We analyse fMRI data from 98 adults previously categorized as being among best or worst performers cohort study >1000 subjects aged...
Moving to music is an essential human pleasure particularly related musical groove. Structurally, associated with groove often characterised by rhythmic complexity in the form of syncopation, frequently observed styles such as funk, hip-hop and electronic dance music. Structural has been positive affect more broadly, but function syncopation eliciting body-movement unknown. Here we report results from a web-based survey which investigated relationship between ratings wanting move experienced...
Spontaneous (or resting-state) brain activity has attracted a growing body of neuroimaging research over the last decades. Whole-brain network models have proved helpful to investigate source slow (<0.1 Hz) correlated hemodynamic fluctuations revealed in fMRI during rest. However, mechanisms mediating resting-state long-distance correlations and relationship with faster neural remain unclear. Novel insights coming from MEG studies shown that amplitude envelopes alpha- beta-frequency...
Significance In a technical tour de force, we have created framework demonstrating the underlying fundamental principles of bidirectional coupling neuronal and neurotransmitter dynamical systems. Specifically, in present study, combined multimodal neuroimaging data to causally explain functional effects specific serotoninergic receptor (5-HT 2A R) stimulation with psilocybin healthy humans. Longer term, this could provide better understanding why is showing considerable promise as...
Significance We describe a quantitative and robust definition of brain state as an ensemble “metastable substates,” each with probabilistic stability occurrence frequency. Fitting this to generative whole-brain model provides innovative avenue for predicting where simulated stimulation can force transitions between different states. provide proof-of-concept by systematically applying framework neuroimaging data the human sleep cycle show stimulate awaken sleeping vice versa. These results...
