Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The research project searched for empirical evidence related to the interactions of conscious perception and neural activity. The study developed and used two experimental approaches. The first was based on the use of a patterned neuronal culture, and the second on an EEG measured during a two-person interaction in a computer game. In both approaches the experiment tested the possible effect of conscious state of the person playing the computer game on the level of neuronal activity. The experiments were designed such that an effect of this type would be detected by a difference in the measured neural activity during game playing time compared with a reference pause period.
In the neuronal culture setup, the number of experiments was limited by the number of neurally responsive cultures. In one culture, activity during game periods was significantly higher that during reference period. In a second active culture, the activity was lower during game playing compared to the reference period, but the difference was relatively small. In the EEG setup, considerable efforts were devoted to the development of a stable measurement protocol and algorithms to automatically select the most appropriate electrode signals. The results of the two-person setup have not shown so far conclusive consciousness effects, but the amount of data collected so far is too limited to draw final conclusions. It will be possible to use the approach we developed to efficiently collect additional data and analyze the problem in greater detail. The results also show that the application of learning algorithms to automatically identify and use the most appropriate signals will be highly beneficial in future studies.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
In addition to learning signs associated with specific threats, animals can use con-specific alarm signals (such as alarm pheromones and calls) and eavesdrop on other species. These mechanisms allow animals to avoid the necessity of learning through what might be a fatal encounter with a predator. Our laboratory has recently shown that rats use freezing as a signal of threat. In our study, we trained one rat, the demonstrator, to fear a tone cue and the next day tested their fear of the cue in the presence of the cage-mate, the observer. We found that observer rats perceive the cessation of movement-evoked sound (caused by freezing of the demonstrator) as a signal of danger and its resumption as a signal of safety. In addition, we have found that observer rats previously exposed to footshocks display observational freezing, but naive observer rats do not, indicating that learning from self-experience with an aversive event is important for rats to respond to freezing displayed by others. We hypothesize that rats learn to associate their own freezing response with the aversive shock, such that later on freezing itself becomes an alarm cue. Indeed, experiments in the lab have shown that exposure to shock, or contextual fear learning in the absence of freezing, are not sufficient to allow for observational freezing. This set of experiments paved the way to the underpinnings of the neural mechanism underlying social transmission of fear in rats.

Neural substrates of withholding impulsive actions in rat frontal cortex

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Withholding impulsive actions for short term gains to achieve longer term goals is an important facet of goal-directed behavior. The frontal cortex has been hypothesized to exert top-down inhibition of impulsive actions, but little is known about the nature of the neural signals responsible for such control. To address this question, we have developed a novel impulse control task in rats and begun to investigate the neural signals of frontal cortical areas, namely medial frontal cortex (MFC) and secondary motor cortex (M2), during the task.
In the impulse control task, subjects interact with a waiting port and a reward port. While waiting, two tones are generated, the first at a fixed short delay (0.4 s) and the second at a longer random delay (exponentially-distributed, min. 0.7 s, approx. 2s mean). Responses after the first tone garner a reward, but the amount is 3-4 times larger after the second tone. For a given set of reward amounts and delays, the time a rat is willing to wait varies randomly from trial to trial, approximating the distribution of second tone delays.
To characterize neural signals related to impulse control, we made single-unit recordings from MFC and M2 neurons, testing for signals that correlated on a trial-by-trial basis with waiting time. While approximately 20% of neurons in M2 (109/548 neurons) showed activity that correlated with and predicted waiting time, only 6.6% of MFC neurons (8/122 neurons) showed such a predictive activity. Waiting-predictive neurons in M2 showed a variety of time courses of activity. The most frequent one was a phasic signal locked to waiting-port entry, but other neurons showed ramping activity peaking at waiting-port exit.
To test whether the predictive activity in M2 is specific to waiting action or not, we compared the activity during two impulse control tasks which require different actions for waiting, nose-poke for one task and lever-press for the other. Most of the predictive signals are specific to one type of waiting, which suggests the action specificity of the predictive signal.
These results establish a task suitable for studying impulse control, reveal properties of single neuronal activity in frontal cortex during the task and suggest a role of M2 in planning timing of actions.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Affective disorders (ADs) are characterized by profound emotional processing deficits involving disrupted neural network activity and connectivity, particularly within the default mode network and fronto-temporal circuits, with abnormalities in theta and alpha oscillatory patterns. While current treatments primarily target mood symptoms, emotional processing impairments often persist and predict relapses. Awe, a complex self-transcendent emotion, may counteract such deficits through its capacity to reduce rumination and enhance positive affect. However, the neural correlates of awe experiences in clinical populations remain unexplored.
Objective: For the first time, this exploratory study investigated the electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates of awe induced by validated virtual reality (VR) scenarios in individuals with ADs compared to healthy controls (HCs).
Methods: Participants were exposed to immersive VR scenarios designed to elicit different awe experiences (mountains, waterfall, Earth) and a reference (awe-neutral) scenario. EEG activity was recorded during VR exposure and at baseline, followed by emotional state questionnaires. Power spectral density and graph-theoretical connectivity indices - Nodal Positive Strength and Global Efficiency - were computed across theta, alpha, and beta bands.
Results: Healthy controls showed high awe responses in awe-inducing scenarios with selective, scenario-specific modulations in alpha and theta band activity and connectivity, reflecting preserved cognitive flexibility. Conversely, ADs reported similar awe responses across all VR scenarios with reduced environmental differentiation. With respect to HCs, ADs showed elevated theta power in bilateral frontal and temporal regions, suggesting compensatory activity related to emotional processing alterations. Both groups exhibited VR-induced reductions in alpha-band global efficiency, more pronounced in ADs, suggesting compromised neural integration during complex emotional processing.
Discussion: Taken together, the results suggest that the emotional processing deficits inherent to ADs may limit the capacity to engage differentially with emotionally complex stimuli such as awe, while nonetheless providing initial evidence that VR-based awe exposure combined with neurophysiological recording represents a valuable approach for discriminating differential cerebral emotional responses in clinical populations. This proof-of-concept work warrants further investigation in larger cohorts to evaluate the therapeutic potential of awe-based interventions for affective disorders.
