NestMC is a new multicompartment neural network simulator currently under development as collaboration between the Simulation Lab Neuroscience at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and Swiss National Center.NestMC will enable scales classes of morphologically detailed neuronal simulations on current future supercomputing architectures.A number "many-core" architectures such GPU Intel Xeon Phi based systems are available.To optimally use these emerging architecture...
Abstract Signals related to uncertainty are frequently observed in regions of the cognitive control network, including anterior cingulate/medial prefrontal cortex (ACC/mPFC), dorsolateral (dlPFC), and insular cortex. Uncertainty generally refers conditions which decision variables may assume multiple possible values can arise at points perception-action cycle, sensory input, inferred states environment, consequences actions. These sources correlated: noisy input lead unreliable estimates...
pFC is generally regarded as a region critical for abstract reasoning and high-level cognitive behaviors. As such, it has become the focus of intense research involving wide variety subdisciplines neuroscience employing diverse range methods. However, even amount data on increased exponentially, appears that progress toward understanding general function across broad array contexts not kept pace. Effects observed in are legion, their interpretations informed by particular perspective or...
Abstract Human behavior is strongly driven by the pursuit of rewards. In daily life, however, benefits mostly come at a cost, often requiring that effort be exerted in order to obtain potential benefits. Medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and dorsolateral (DLPFC) are frequently implicated expectation effortful control, showing increased activity as function predicted task difficulty. Such partially overlaps with reward, has been observed both during decision-making preparation. Recently, novel...
Abstract While representing and maintaining rules in order to govern behavior is a critical function of the brain, it remains an open question as how collections - task sets are represented cortex. One possibility that co-activation representations simple from which set composed. Alternatively, could be encoded conjunctive manner unique combination belong set. Using novel multi-level MVPA approach with fMRI, we attempted answer both “where” “how” brain. Subjects performed delayed...
Recent theories have attempted to provide unifying accounts of dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), a region routinely observed in studies cognitive control and decision-making. Despite the proliferation frameworks, rigorous empirical testing has lagged behind theory. Here we test competing predictions three dACC using simple value-based decision-making task. We find that Predicted Response-Outcome model provides an integrative parsimonious account our results. Our results highlight need...
