Hemispheric specialization within the inferior parietal lobe across cognitive domains
[article]
2020
bioRxiv
pre-print
The inferior parietal lobe (IPL) is a key neural substrate underlying diverse mental processes, from basic attention to language and social cognition that define human interactions. Its putative domain-global role appears to tie into poorly understood functional differences between both hemispheres. Across attentional, semantic, and social cognitive experiments, our study explored hemispheric specialization within the IPL. The task specificity of IPL subregion activity was substantiated by

... nct predictive signatures identified by multivariate pattern-learning algorithms. Moreover, the left and right IPL exerted domain-specific modulation of effective connectivity among their subregions. Task-evoked functional interactions of the anterior and posterior IPL subregions involved recruitment of distributed cortical partners. While each anterior IPL subregion was engaged in strongly lateralized coupling links, both posterior subregions showed more symmetric coupling patterns across hemispheres. Our collective results shed light on how under-appreciated lateralization effects within the IPL support some of the most distinctive human mental capacities.

Age-dependent contribution of domain-general network interactions to semantic cognition
[article]
2020
bioRxiv
pre-print
Aging is characterized by a decline of cognitive control. In semantic cognition, this leads to the paradox that older adults usually show poorer task performance than young adults despite their greater semantic knowledge. So far, the underlying neural changes of these behavioral differences are poorly understood. In the current neuroimaging study, we investigated the interplay of domain-specific and domain-general networks in young and older adults during a verbal semantic fluency task. In both

... age groups, task processing was characterized by a strong interaction between the domain-general multiple-demand and the default mode system during semantic fluency. However, the behavioral relevance of strengthened connectivity differed between groups: While within- and between-network functional connectivity predicted better performance in young adults, these increases were associated with a performance decline in older adults. Our findings lend novel support to the notion of reduced efficiency in the aging brain, due to neural dedifferentiation in semantic cognition.

Predicting speech from a cortical hierarchy of event-based timescales
[article]
2020
bioRxiv
pre-print
How can anticipatory neural processes structure the temporal unfolding of context in our natural environment? We here provide evidence for a neural coding scheme that sparsely updates contextual representations at the boundary of events and gives rise to a hierarchical, multi-layered organization of predictive language comprehension. Training artificial neural networks to predict the next word in a story at five stacked timescales and then using model-based functional MRI, we observe a sparse,

... vent-based 'surprisal hierarchy'. The hierarchy evolved along a temporo-parietal pathway, with model-based surprisal at longest timescales represented in inferior parietal regions. Along this hierarchy, surprisal at any given timescale gated bottom-up and top-down connectivity to neighbouring timescales. In contrast, surprisal derived from a continuously updated context influenced temporo-parietal activity only at short timescales. Representing context in the form of increasingly coarse events constitutes a network architecture for making predictions that is both computationally efficient and semantically rich.
