  1. Fronto Limbic and Mem

  2. Parallel Memory Systems • Episodic Memory- Hippocampal based • Procedural and “Habit” learning system: Basal Ganglia • Reward system effects on learning-ventral striatum • Frontal lobe contributions • Retrieval systems • Organization of input • Priming • Repetition priming/sensory based traces • Frontal contributions to effortful learning/priming

  3. Memory systems • Hippocampal • New associations • Episodic - temporal signature • Case examples • Tests • Paired associate learning • Effect of retrieval cues

  4. Hippocampal System • H.M. first model of episodic memory • Bilateral medial temporal lobectomy for epilepsy surgery • Cured of epilepsy • No new episodic encoding since surgery • This memory deficit is the classic amnesia syndrome • Other good ways to get this deficit: • Repeated temporal lobe seizures (mesial temporal sclerosis • Anoxia- at birth or acquired- HC especially sensitive to anoxic damage • Herpes encephalitis (limbic encephalitis). Herpes loves the HC.

  5. Neuropsych patterns in HC-based memory impairment • Difficulty forming new associations • E.g. Unrelated paired associate learning • Face-name associations • Steep forgetting curve • Delayed recall specifically impaired • Minimal to no benefit from retrieval cues • Minimal to no benefit from recognition format • Some evidence for content specificity • left vs right, verbal vs spatial dissociation

  6. Wada testing of HC function • Anterior 2/3 HC fed by the anterior choroidal artery which comes of the ICA • During Wada testing, anesthetize 1 HC • Present new information to learn (eg 6 objects) • Wait 12 minutes (with distraction) • Test for Memory for Episode (did we show you anything?) • Test for cued recall; finally, test recogntion • ***Important assess for Episodic recall

  7. Memory without episodic recall: feeling of knowing • HC memory is episodic: remember the encoding episode (eg the objects I just showed you 10 minutes ago) • Distinguish from Explicit, but non-episodic memory (eg, yes I have seen this before, don’t remember the exact episode: “feeling of knowing”

  8. Recollection versus Familiarity • (R) Recollection - re-experiencing the encoding event at the time of recall, true episodic memory • (K) - Know - the feeling of familiarity that you’ve seen something before, but not remembering the exact encoding event • Not implicit because it is conscious

  9. Eldridge et al 2001, 2005: Remember- Know Distinction in HC

  10. R vs. K • Eldridge et al have shown the HC is selectively involved in R, not with K.

  13. Non-episodic Memory:Habit Learning System

  14. Striatum Hippocampus

  15. Patient H.M. can learn….. • Was able to navigate around his (new) environment, eventually. • Could learn new skills: initially, motor skills; ultimately found to include cognitive skills • Eg mirror reading (see next slide) • Could perform the tower of Hanoi in the optimal number of moves; but had to be explained the directions repeatedly; no memory of having seen it before • Thus there was some unconscious, implicit learning that was conceptual in nature

  16. Imaging the striatal learning system:Learning a new skill • Mirror-reading: (Poldrack et al) • College students were taught to read mirror-reversed text for ~5 hours • Scanned before and after learning using fMRI • Activity in striatum during learning • Normal in HC lesioned patients ambitious bedraggle plaintiff

  17. Knowlton and Squire • Performed a probabilistic learning task in Parkinson’s patients and amnestic patients: Weather Prediction Task • In this task subjects learn an association between a stimulus (a playing card) and an outcome (rain or shine) • Relationship was probabilistic, not deterministic; 66% probability of an outcome • Subjects could not memorize the associations, and ultimately guessed • However their behavior showed a learning curve despite no explicit knowledge of learning

  18. Learning concepts without consciousness

  19. Amnesic patients learned the associations (without awareness) • Parkinson’s patients did not • Requires hundreds of trials • Testing of explicit memory results in chance • Behavior shows learning • Considered an implicit, habit based learning system • What other skills do you learn this way?

  20. Implicit learning

  21. Basal Ganglia and learning • What else is learned implicitly? • Language learning and grammar: based on probabilistic word boundaries and repetition to learn syntactic structures • Social skills: how close to stand to people, how loud to talk, where to stand in an elevator, how much eye contact, etc

  22. (14,6,0) Striatum is Involved in Language & Communication • Artificial grammar learning (Lieberman et al., 2004) • Subjects given sequences of letters with probabilistic sequences • Presented novel sequences that follow the same rules • Subjects can correctly classify them as right or wrong without knowing the rules or having learned the specific examples! Grammatical > Non-Grammatical Lieberman et al., 2004 J Cog Neuro

  23. Implicit learning and dorsal striatum • Dorsal striatum (Ca/Pu) is implicated in implicit or “habit” learning (Knowlton and Squire) • Language acquisition and social learning are thought to rely on implicit learning mechanisms • Probabilistic learning tasks (vs. deterministic) are implicit, subconscious, and rely on dorsal striatum

  24. Implicit Learning and Reward • Probabilistic Classification Task • Reported by Knowlton and Squires- impaired in PD, intact in amnesia • Inversely related to hippocampal activity • Reward variant- social vs. monetary • Stimuli predict a given outcome (1 or 2); 50% deterministic, 50% random • Reward and Cognitive (Correct / Incorrect) feedback Adults: BG activity during probabilistic learning Source: D. Ghahremani

  25. Response to Rewards Every occurrence of a reward (any type) vs. no-reward

  26. Effect of rewards on implicit learning

  27. R L Dorsal Striatum deficits in ASD during implicit learning Typical children > ASD children

  28. R Variation in VS activity in typical children predicts social reciprocity

  29. Word Segmentation & Language Learning • Identifying word boundaries is one of the earliest steps in language learning (Kuhl 2002) • Infant studies suggest heavy reliance on statistical learning for word segmentation (Saffran et al., 1996; Aslin et al., 1998) • Prosodic cues (e.g., stress) aid speech parsing (Johnson & Juscyzk, 2001; Thiessen & Saffran, 2003) • Adapt well-established paradigm from infant literature

  34. Implicit Learning and Reward • Rewards augment implicit learning • Probabilistic Classification Task • Reward variant- • Stimuli predict a given outcome (1 or 2) either 17% 50% or 83% • Reward and Cognitive (Correct / Incorrect) feedback • Reward type varied: Monetary Rewards or Social Rewards • Equal number of reward and cognitive feedback trials Source: D. Ghahremani

  35. Frontal contributions to memory • Attention to incoming information • Organization of incoming information • Pre-organized • Semantic categorization • Working memory capacity • Organized memory retrieval (Brodmanns area 10 found to be involved in controlled retrieval)

  36. Frontal lobe memory deficits • Information size effects (supraspan) • LM story 2 second rep; • Interference (proactive) • Eg: CVLT 5,7,10,9,8 • Benefit from cues • Reduced spontaneous categorization • Confabulation • Prospective memory impairment

  37. Some examples to discuss • Patient 1: • CVLT: 4,7,12,15,9 2 I, 4 P • List B: 4 • SF: 7 cued 9 • LF: 9 cued 12 • Recognition 15/16 3 FP • What does this pattern suggest? • What would WMS LM look like?

  38. Example 2 • CVLT 8,10,12,13,14 • B 8 • Sdfree 8 cued 8 • Ldfree 4 cued 5 • Recognition 10/16 0 FP • What else would you be likely to see? What would WMS LM look like?

  39. Emotion effects on memory • Flashbulb memory: where were you on 9/11? • Most can remember exquisite details of highly emotionally charged events • Close contact between amygdala and HC facilitate strong emotional memories • Interestingly, these memories are modifiable- details are altered with retelling, easily tampered with • People retain their emotional traces, which includes a strong conviction of the accuracy of their memory for emotional events • This is exactly why eyewitness testimony is so poor.

  40. Neuroanatomy of psychiatric conditions • Eg schizophrenic auditory hallucinations: strong activity in TTG and A2 during hallucinations • Many studies of psychiatric disorders have used emotional faces as stimuli

  41. “Match” “Label” Facial Emotions: ExperimentalParadigm Control MatchExpressions: Perception only; implicit emotional processing Label Expressions: Explicit cognitive analysis

  42. Match Affect- normal adults -seeing negative face expressions activates Face and Fear brain centers amygdala face area Hariri et al., 1999

  43. Label Affect -interpreting negative face expressions activates Face center … down regulates the amygdala amygdala Hariri et al., 1999

  44. Cortical Influence During “Label” -this frontal lobe region regulates and controls Fear brain centers Hariri et al., 1999
