Functional neuroanatomy bradd@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Overview of brain anatomy & systems –Localization/networks –Scale in the nervous system –Sensorimotor systems How our brains interact with the external world (loops) –States ‘of mind’ (and body) Specific functional systems –Memory & emotion How our brains use previous experience to modify behavior Vision & attention; language
2
Learning & memory Where were you on the following day?
3
Learning & memory September 11, 2006
4
Learning & memory “Knowing that” Vs. “Knowing how” Gilbert Ryle, Oxford philosopher of mind, 1949
5
The limbic system: Memory & emotion
6
Medial temporal lobe memory system

8
Current standard 1mm structural imaging (AD patient) Trio TIM, 12 channel coil, 1mm 3 MPRAGE
9
High-resolution MR imaging 7 Tesla ex vivo Courtesy of Jean Augustinack & Bruce Fischl 100-150um resolution
10
High-resolution MPRAGE 32 channel coil, 3T Trio 0.38x0.38x1mm MPRAGE (ipat x 2, 10 min acq time, 112 slices), Seven acquisitions were motion-corrected and averaged. Beautiful contrast & anatomic detail is present, including thalamic nuclei, claustrum, tiny perforating vessels
11
High-resolution MPRAGE Excellent grey-white contrast is present in hippocampus; note also tiny pial perforating vessels
12
Learning & memory: HM H.M.Control Corkin S, J Nsci, 1997
13
Learning & memory: HM
14
Multiple memory systems
15
Learning & memory What task would you use to show differential hippocampal activation? (When is the hippocampus “off”?)
16
Functional MRI Paradigm Functional MRI Paradigm Scene encoding (block design) ++ +++ Novel Repeated Adapted from C.E. Stern et al., PNAS, 1996 5s40s25s
17
Learning & memory: Novelty Stern CE, PNAS 1996
18
Learning & memory: Events Brewer J, Science 1998; Wagner A, Science 1998
19
Learning & memory: Individual variability in MTL activation Vandenbroucke MWJ, Neuroimage 2004
20
Learning & memory: Individual variability in anatomy Vandenbroucke MWJ, Neuroimage 2004
21
Genetic influences on MTL activation Hariri et al., J Neurosci, 2003Bookheimer et al.,NEJM, 2000 BDNF val/val > val/met APOE 4 > 3
22
Multiple memory systems
23
Learning & memory: Frontal lobe anatomy
24
Learning & memory: Frontal lobe & episodic memory Brewer J, Science 1998; Wagner A, Science 1998
25
Learning & memory: Working memory Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: Digit span Delayed match to sample N-back
26
Learning & memory: Working memory D’Esposito M, 2002
27
Learning & memory: Working memory & sleep deprivation Drummond SP, Nature 2004 After full night sleepAfter sleep deprivation N-back task
28
Learning & memory: Striatal anatomy
29
Learning & memory: Striatum & procedural memory Knowlton BJ, Science 1996
30
Emotional learning & memory: Amygdala & orbitofrontal cortex Poldrack R, Nature 2001
31
Emotional conditioning is dependent on amygdala, declarative learning on the hippocampus Bechara A, Science 1995
32
Amygdala activation is related to emotional intensity at encoding, and predicts recall Canli T, J Neurosci 2000 Recognition 3 weeks later
33
‘Unseen’ emotional stimuli activate amygdala & can elicit emotional conditioning Morris JS, Brain 2001
34
Systems for processing facial emotion Adolphs R, Curr Opn Nbiol 2002
35
Learning & memory Binding information processed by the brain for storage and future use, particularly with relevance to survival & other needs
