Pełny tekst źródłaA clarification of the patterns of the orbitofrontal sulci and their relationship to architectonic subregions is necessary if the results of functional neuroimaging and other physiological and anatomical findings are to be properly interpreted. Although studies have reported altered activity in the orbitofrontal cortex in relation to various sensory processes and pathological states it has been difficult to relate these changes to specific orbitofrontal regions because of a limited understanding of the anatomical landmarks. The absence of reliable reference markers forces the use of vague terminology (e.g., "orbital frontal activation") in describing the location of functional changes in the orbital frontal cortex.
The aim of this doctoral thesis was to gain a better understanding of the sulcal pattern of the human orbitofrontal cortex and its relation to the underlying cytoarchitecture. The first study resolved the confusion associated with the orbitofrontal sulci by identifying, quantifying, and precisely localizing the various orbital sulci from fifty human magnetic resonance scans that were transformed into the standardized stereotaxic space of Talairach and Tournoux (1988). The second study compared the individual sulci and sulcal patterns of these fifty human brains with the brains of fifty adult rhesus monkeys. Having examined the orbitofrontal sulci in these two species, a nomenclature for the human orbitofrontal sulci was established which was based on comparable sulci in the less convoluted macaque monkey brain while trying to preserve many of the familiar labels associated with this region in the human brain. The final part of this thesis examined the orbitofrontal cytoarchitecture of 10 human adult cerebral hemispheres to determine if a correlation exists between the different orbital sulci and the borders of the architectonic subregions.

Pełny tekst źródłaAn organism depends for its survival on the ability to take adaptive decisions in an ever-changing environment. These decisions involve several cognitive processes that can be revealed by the study of associative learning processes. Thus, action control has been found to rely on processes that distribute across a network of cerebral structures including prefrontal regions. Prefrontal functions are largely influenced by neuromodulators such as noradrenaline, which is thought to be involved in behavioural flexibility. My Ph.D. project therefore aimed at clarifying the role of noradrenergic modulation of prefrontal cortex regions in adapting a subject’s behaviour to changes in action consequences. In the first chapter, we studied the organization of noradrenergic innervation in the various prefrontal areas, by means of an automated quantification method. In the second chapter, we applied a behavioural protocol requiring flexible learning of the causal relationships between actions and their outcomes. Using this protocol and neurotoxins to deplete prefrontal regions from noradrenergic innervation, we showed that noradrenaline in a specific area, the orbitofrontal cortex, was necessary to action control, in particular to mediate changes in the identity and value of expected outcomes. Comparing this contribution to the role of medial prefrontal cortex on one hand, and of dopaminergic modulation on the other hand, suggests that the role of noradrenergic neuromodulation is both region- and mediator-specific. In the third chapter, we developed a series of chemogenetic approaches to identify the temporal involvement of noradrenaline in the various phases of the task, and we identified some of the limits of these approaches. This work confirms the importance of neuromodulation in prefrontal cortical function and furthers our understanding of cerebral circuits involved in action control and adaptation to a changing environment

Pełny tekst źródłaThe most influential theories on the function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) suggest that this structure is an association cortex, responsible for integration of information received from other parts of the brain. This would implicate in direct participation of the PFC in working memory and attentional processes. Given this context, hodological and neurophysiological studies suggest that the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) would be responsible for the integration of sensory, motivational and affective aspects, while the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), which is directly connected to the OFC, would have a key role in encoding emotional stimuli from the amygdala. It is well accepted that the processing of these aspects of information is crucial for decision-making processes, given the fact that this expression of behavior requires an evaluation of the environment in terms of comparing novel situation to previous experiences, as well as processing the balance between costs, outcomes and reward values. In order to test these hypotheses, rats with selective lesions to the vmPFC were subjected to the elevated plus maze (EPM) to evaluate anxiety and conditioned fear in the test retest paradigm. Animal were also tested in a spatial reference memory and a working memory tasks in the Morris water maze. Another group of rats had multi-electrode arrays chronically implanted in the OFC for the evaluation of the neuronal activity during a decision-making task, in which the animals had to choose between a small reward of one chocolate pellet immediately and a large reward of four chocolate pellets after varying delays. The results of the EPM show that animals with lesion to the vmPFC differ from control animals by showing diminished time evaluating risk in the second exposure to the EPM, without damage to locomotor activity, memory and anxiety levels. In the reference spatial memory task in the water maze, after extensive training searching for the hidden platform in the same location, lesioned animals persisted searching for the platform in that particular location after it was removed (probe test). However, in the working memory task, in which the platform is presented in a different location each day, lesioned animals did not differ from control animals. In the decision-making task, differential electrophysiological activity in OFC neurons was observed, particularly in the moment of the task in which the animal was required to perform the choice between rewards. Together, these results suggest that the vmPFC is related to behavioral flexibility and decision-making, possibly acting together with the OFC, which neuronal activity suggests participation in decision-making processes

Pełny tekst źródłaObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a frequent and disabling anxiety disorder. Available treatments are effective for most patients but impairing residual symptoms and treatment resistance are common in OCD patients. Therefore, a better understanding of OCD pathophysiology is essential for further improvement of therapeutic strategies. The main goal of my thesis was to assess the anatomical and funtional thalamocortical alterations associated with OCD. Concerning the anatomical thalamocortical alterations associated with OCD, we conducted two meta-analyses of anatomical neuroimaging studies and an original volumetric neuroimaging study. We reported a smaller thalamic volume and a greater orbitofrontal volume, but also an inverse relationship between the volume changes in OCD patients compared with healthy subjects. Furthermore, we showed that gray matter density within the orbitofrontal cortex and the putamen were enhanced in OCD. Concerning the functional thalamocortical alterations associated with OCD, we reported data coming from a meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies, an experimental study in subhuman primates using local brain pharmacological manipulations and an event-related neuroimaging study in OCD patients. In our meta-analysis, we showed that the orbitofrontal cortex, the thalamus and the striatum were involved in the mediation of OCD symptoms. In subhuman primates, the pharmacologically induced overactivity within the ventralanterior thalamic nucleus leaded to the emergence of compulsive-like behaviors. Then, in our neuroimaging study, we found that doubt-related orbitofrontal dysfunctions were not modulated by neither error signals nor compulsive-like behaviors in OCD patients, compared with healthy subjects. Finally, we described by using meta-analytic data that anatomical and functional brain alterations overlap with the lateral orbitofrontal cortex in OCD. In conclusion, our results suggest that the thalamo-orbitofrontal network may play a primary role in the genesis and mediation of OCD symptoms

Pełny tekst źródłaThe orbifrontal cortex is pointed out as a fundamental structure for value-based decision making. It is believed that its function involves the valuation of rewards from the integration of sensory information and memory in order to compare costs and benefits. Conflicting results on the effects of the orbifrontal cortex lesion on tasks of intertemporal choice bring about questions on the level of specialization of its function. The purpose of the present study is to test the hypothesis that the participation of the orbifrontal cortex in the task performance of intertemporal choice depends on the experience of the animal with the task in relation to the moment of injury. For this, an intertemporal choice task was used in which the animals had to choose between two distinct reinforcements, one smaller and delivered immediately after the response and the other larger but delivered after a certain waiting time after the response. Four groups were included, two experimental groups involving neurotoxic injury and two control groups, submitted to identical procedures, except for the induction of lesion (the control groups were, after an analysis of behavioral results and found no difference, merged into a single group control) an experimental group and a corresponding control group underwent neurosurgery before being exposed to 15 training tasks sessions. Another experimental group and its corresponding control underwent similar training, yet, after neurosurgery. Afterward, all the animals were submitted to 10 additional training sessions on the same task and later to another 10 reversal sessions, in which the sites previously associated to the reinforcement schemes were inverted. The results revelead that all groups behaved similarly in the different experimental phases regardless the time of injury or even the lesion itself, showing that the intact orbifrontal cortex is not necessary for the acquisition and performance of the task of intertemporal choice. These results lead to the conclusion that selective orbifrontal cortex damages do not generate losses in the performance of intertemporal choices

Pełny tekst źródłaINTRODUCTION: Bipolar disorder (BD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are within the ten medical condition promoving incapacity worldwide. To date, their neuropathological substrates are yet to be disclosed. Postmortem studies designed to estimate cytoarchitectonic and molecular changes for clinical and imaging correlation, have the potencial to undercover pathophysiological aspects of these conditions. OBJECTIVE: Objective: To compare neuronal density, volume and total neuron number of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) as a whole and divided by sub-regions: anteromedial (AM), medio-orbitofrontal (MO) and antero-lateral (AL) among BD, OCD and matched controls. METHODS: We used 17 postmortem brains sourced from the Psy- BBBABSG. All the subject were older than 50 years and were classified based on clinical evaluation in BD, OCD and healthy control. Subjects were matched by age, gender and brain hemisphere. One hemisphere were perfusion fixed with 20% formalin and used for neuroestereological studies. The second hemisphere had ROIs dissected and snap frozen for future molecular studies. OUTCOMES: Neuron density in OFC and the sub-regions were decreased in cases vs. controls (p < 0,05). This result was observed in cortical layers analyses with exception of layer IV. We did not observed significant changes in volume. The MO sub-region had reduced total neuron number in cases than in controls (p < 0,05). CONCLUSION: Ours results suggest that OFC changes may be part of BD and OCD pathogenesis. These results go in line with functional imaging findings. Further studies with a higher number of cases and adressing specific neuron types are needed

Pełny tekst źródłaObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe mental illness. OCD symptoms are often resistant to available treatments. Neurobiological models of OCD are based on an imbalance between the direct (excitatory) and indirect (inhibitory) pathway within this cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical loops, which causes hyperactivation in the orbito-frontal cortex, the cingular anterior cortex, the putamen. More recently, the role of cerebellum in the OCD physiopathology has been brought to light by studies showing structural and functional abnormalities. We proposed to use tDCS as a therapeutic tool for resistant OCD by targeting the hyperactive left orbito-frontal cortex with cathodal tDCS (assumed to decrease cortical excitability) coupled with anodal cerebellar tDCS. In a first study, we studied the feasibility of this treatment protocol in an open-trial. This study found a significant reduction in symptoms in a population with a high level of resistance. In a second study, we evaluated the effect of this treatment in a randomized-controlled trial. This study did not confirm the effectiveness of this intervention. We have assessed motor cortex cortical excitability parameters by transcranial magnetic stimulation. We thus demonstrated that the tDCS caused a significant increase of inhibition processes (Short Interval Cortical Inhibition: SICI) and a nonsignificant decrease in the facilitation processes (Intra Cortical Facilitation (ICF)). In addition, clinical improvement assessed by Clinical Global Impression at the end of the follow-up period (3 months) was positively correlated with SICI at baseline.tDCS with the cathode placed over the left OFC combined with the anode placed over the right cerebellum decreased hyper-excitability in the motor cortex but was not significantly effective in SSRI- resistant OCD patients. These works were discussed in light of the available literature to create future prospect in the field of tDCS treatment for OCD resistant patients

Pełny tekst źródłaWe make decisions every waking day of our life. Facing our options, we tend to pick the most likely to get our expected outcome. Taking into account our past experiences and their outcome is mandatory to identify the best option. This cognitive process is called reinforcement learning. To date, the underlying neural mechanisms are debated. Despite a consensus on the role of dopaminergic neurons in reward processing, several hypotheses on the neural bases of reinforcement learning coexist: either two distinct opposite systems covering cortical and subcortical areas, or a segregation of neurons within brain regions to process reward-based and punishment-avoidance learning.This PhD work aimed to identify the brain dynamics of human reinforcement learning. To unravel the neural mechanisms involved, we used intracerebral recordings in refractory epileptic patients during a probabilistic learning task. In the first study, we used a computational model to tackle the brain dynamics of reinforcement signal encoding, especially the encoding of reward and punishment prediction errors. Local field potentials exhibited the central role of high frequency gamma activity (50-150Hz) in these encodings. We report a role of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in reward prediction error encoding while the anterior insula and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex encoded punishment prediction errors. In addition, the magnitude of the neural response in the insula predicted behavioral learning and trial-to-trial behavioral adaptations. These results are consistent with the existence of two distinct opposite cortical systems processing reward and punishments during reinforcement learning. In a second study, we recorded the neural activity of the anterior and dorsomedial nuclei of the thalamus during the same cognitive task. Local field potentials recordings highlighted the role of low frequency theta activity in punishment processing, supporting an implication of these nuclei during punishment-avoidance learning. In a third behavioral study, we investigated the influence of risk on reinforcement learning. We observed a risk-aversion during punishment-avoidance, affecting the performance, as well as a risk-seeking behavior during reward-seeking, revealed by an increased reaction time towards appetitive risky choices. Taken together, these results suggest we are risk-seeking when we have something to gain and risk-averse when we have something to lose, in contrast to the prediction of the prospect theory.Improving our common knowledge of the brain dynamics of human reinforcement learning could improve the understanding of cognitive deficits of neurological patients, but also the decision bias all human beings can exhibit

Pełny tekst źródłaINTRODUCTION: Studies in rodents and primates demonstrate the involvement of the orbitofrontal cortex in learning stimuli, social learning tasks and decision-making in the social field. Numerous studies on human beings also highlight the relation between the orbitofrontal cortex and lack of empathy, inappropriate social behaviour, inability to recognize the social component of facial expressions and integration and social communication deficits. Indeed, the orbitofrontal cortex is important for emotional and social behaviour and ultimately to interact in a suitable manner. Cognitive decline in Alzheimer 's disease is progressive and tends to an aphasic-apractic-agnosic syndrome due to atrophy in the temporal, frontal, parietal and occipital lobes. However, there are studies that show that the orbitofrontal cortex is the cortex with fewer neuritic plaques. There are various and conflicting results regarding the ability to recognize emotions from facial expressions and the ability for social skills in people with Alzheimer's. OBJECTIVES: The first objective is to show the preservation of the functions associated with orbitofrontal cortex in Alzheimer 's disease. The second objective is to study if the ability to perceive social situations is preserved in all degrees of impairment of Alzheimer 's disease. METHOD: Using prospective sampling 45 patients with Alzheimer 's disease attending outpatient consultation 67 to 89 years-old and 15 control subjects 66 to 89 years-old were selected for the study. They were administered a general neuropsychological battery, specific orbitofrontal tests, a behaviour scale frontal, a social interaction role-playing and social behaviours display viewing. RESULTS: The results of the general neuropsychological battery tests show that Alzheimer's disease patients, vs. the control group, presented cognitive decline from the early phases of the disease in the areas of memory, language, attention, praxia and gnosia, with significative differences between groups with a large magnitude of effect (r>0,5). Regarding specific orbitofrontal tests on Alternate Object Test no significant differences between groups were found; nor significant differences in social interaction or viewing situations (positive compared to negative). There are no significant differences in the viewing of social situations between control, incipient and mild groups. In the Iowa Gambling Test no significant differences between the control group and the 3 groups of patients; there is no difference between the groups in apathy, executive dysfunction and disinhibition. In another set of tests such as the Eyes Task there are differences between the control and patient groups (p<0,05). There are also significant differences between groups in the Faux Pas Task with a large magnitude of effect (r>0,5). On social situation viewing there were significant differences between the moderate group and the other groups with a large magnitude of the effect (r> 0,5). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Alzheimer's disease show alteration on orbital tests result in incipient stages of the disease but remain stable despite the progression of dementia. Only incipient and mild patient groups retain the ability to capture social situations both positive and negative, understand them and empathize with them. They also preserve basic social interactions.

In this thesis I will present a set of results that will be analyzed under the encoding-decoding framework in decision-making, a fundamental part of cognition. In particular, I will present a set of electrophysiological, behavioral and mathematical results that have been used to study the encoding of information on the cortex of behaving monkeys and the integration of sensory with prior evidence on rats performing an outcome-coupled perceptual decision-making task.

Pełny tekst źródłaSocial processing is the reception, interpretation, and reciprocation of social information and is critical for mental health. The neural structures, circuits, and substrates regulating these complex mechanisms are not well understood. Social processing in the form of social safety learning, as measured by a rat model of social familiarity-induced anxiolysis (SoFiA), was impaired following mild blast traumatic brain injury (mbTBI). Initial findings indicated that mbTBI altered resting state network activity in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and was associated with accumulation of neurotoxin marker, acrolein, in lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) (including OFC), indicating OFC as a brain region of interest that may contribute to social processing. Measuring GABA and Glutamate-related gene expression in OFC of mbTBI or sham-exposed rat brain revealed specific elevations of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 and 5 (mGluR1/5) expression in mbTBI but not sham OFC. Exposure-naïve rats intracranially injected with mGluR1/5 agonist demonstrated attenuated SoFiA, and this coincided with an impairment of social recognition (SR) behavior. Additionally, inactivation of OFC by local intracranial injection of GABAA agonist, muscimol, impaired two different measures of SR in which two conspecifics, or members of the same species, one novel and one familiar, were presented and required discrimination. Novelty seeking, decision-making, memory, and gregariousness were tested in isolation to determine OFC contributions to these specific behavioral contributions to SR test performance. OFC inactivation did not impair novelty seeking, non-social decision-making, or non-social memory as measured by novel object recognition (NOR) test, or gregariousness or social decision-making as measure by social preference (SP) test. When measuring SR behavior via consecutive presentation of two different conspecifics, OFC inactivation did not impact SR. Therefore, OFC is not directly responsible for social recognition, but rather the discrimination or ability to act upon discrimination of two simultaneously present conspecifics. These data suggest a novel role for OFC in high order processing or execution of action based on social information.

Through its connections with the amygdala, hyppocampus, thalamus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and superior temporal lobe, it is involved in several cognitive processes, such as sensory integration, reward mechanism, decision-making, mood regulation and impulse control. OFC dysfunction is implicated in cognitive, affective and social impairments similar to those present in schizophrenia. Although with some inconsistencies, there is evidence that OFC volumes are reduced in schizophrenia, and that they may be associated with psychopathology and altered cognition. However, it is still not clear whether OFC deficits are present before the onset of the disease or whether they occur with the progression of the illness. OBJECTIVES: The aims of the study were to measure the volumes of the OFC and its subregions, as traced on MRI scans, in a group of schizophrenia patients (SCZ), in a group of First Episode Psychosis patients (FEP), recruited in the context of the Psychosis Incident Cohort Outcome Study (PICOS), and a in group of healthy controls (HC) and to investigate the changes in OFC volumes over time in this cohort. METHODS: socio-demographical and clinical data were initially acquired from 26 SCZ patients, 16 FE patients and 21 HC subjects. The MRI sessions were conducted using a 1.5 T scanner and the images were analyzed using the BRAINS2 software. Subjects were scanned the second time after a mean follow up period of 3 years. The OFC and its medial and lateral subregions were traced and they were segmented for grey and white matter. RESULTS: In the cross sectional comparison, both the white and grey matter of the left lateral OFC was found to be increased in SCZ patients in respect to FEP patients and HC. In the longitudinal comparison the OFC grey matter volume of FEP patients had a greater decrease across time than those of chronic SCZ patients and HC. DISCUSSION: The left lateral OFC seems to be a brain region particularly affected by volume alteration in schizophrenia. The OFC grey matter reduction in FEP patients across time might confirm the assumption that brain volume is more affected by loss in the very first time of the illness.

As the elegant structures designed for neural communication, synapses are the building bricks of our mental functions. Recently, many human clinical studies point out genetic mutations in synaptic proteins may lead to dysfunctions of social cognition. Dlgap2/Sapap2, as one of the main components of scaffold proteins in postsynaptic density (PSD), has been shown to play a critical role in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We generated Dlgap2-/- mice and discovered that they displayed exacerbated aggression in the resident-intruder paradigm and elevated social dominance in the tube test. With biochemical, ultra-structural, and electrophysiological analyses, Dlgap2-/- mice exhibited synaptic deficits in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a brain region recognized as a negative regulator of aggressive behaviors. Our findings clearly demonstrate that Dlgap2 plays vital roles in social behaviors of murine and proper synaptic functions of OFC.
