    Abstract Our previous studies found that the central amygdala (CeA) modulates cerebellum-dependent eyeblink conditioning (EBC) using muscimol inactivation. We also found that CeA inactivation decreases cerebellar neuronal activity during the conditional stimulus (CS) from the start of training. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that the CeA facilitates CS input to the cerebellum. The current study tested the CS facilitation hypothesis using optogenetic inhibition with archaerhodopsin (Arch) and excitation with channelrhodopsin (ChR2) of the CeA during EBC in male rats. Optogenetic manipulations were administered during the 400 ms tone CS or during a 400 ms pre-CS period. As predicted by the CS facilitation hypothesis CeA inhibition during the CS impaired EBC and CeA excitation during the CS facilitated EBC. Unexpectedly, CeA inhibition just prior to the CS also impaired EBC, while CeA excitation during the pre-CS pathway did not facilitate EBC. The results suggest that the CeA contributes to CS facilitation and vigilance during the pre-CS period. These putative functions of the CeA may be mediated through separate output pathways from the CeA to the cerebellum.

    Abstract Communication between the cerebellum and forebrain structures is necessary for motor learning and has been implicated in a variety of cognitive functions. The exact nature of cerebellar-forebrain interactions supporting behavior and cognition is not known. We examined how local and network activity support learning by simultaneously recording neural activity in the cerebellum, amygdala, and anterior cingulate cortex while male and female rats were trained in trace eyeblink conditioning. Initially, the cerebellum and forebrain signal the contingency between external stimuli through increases in theta power and synchrony. Neuronal activity driving expression of the learned response was observed in the cerebellum and became evident in the anterior cingulate and amygdala as learning progressed. Aligning neural activity to the training stimuli or learned response provided a way to differentiate between learning-related activity driven by different mechanisms. Stimulus and response-related increases in theta power and coherence were observed across all three areas throughout learning. However, increases in slow gamma power and coherence were only observed when oscillations were aligned to the cerebellum-driven learned response. Percentage of learned responses, learning-related local activity, and slow gamma communication from cerebellum to forebrain all progressively increased during training. The relatively fast frequency of slow gamma provides an ideal mechanism for the cerebellum to communicate learned temporal information to the forebrain. This cerebellar response-aligned slow gamma then provides enrichment of behavior-specific temporal information to local neuronal activity in the forebrain. These dynamic network interactions likely support a wide range of behaviors and cognitive tasks that require coordination between the forebrain and cerebellum.

    Abstract We present a general method for computing interfacial free energies from atomistic simulations, which is particularly suitable for solid/liquid interfaces. Our method uses an Einstein crystal as a universal reference state and is more flexible than previous approaches. Surfaces with dipoles, complex reconstructions, and miscible species are all easily accommodated within the framework. It may also be extended to calculating the relative free energies of different phases and other types of defect. We have applied our method to interfaces of bassanite and gypsum with water and obtained interfacial free energies of the order of 0.12 J/m

    Abstract Categorization is an adaptive cognitive function that allows us to generalize knowledge to novel situations. Converging evidence from neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological studies suggest that categorization is mediated by the basal ganglia; however, there is debate regarding the necessity of each subregion of the basal ganglia and their respective functions. The current experiment examined the roles of the dorsomedial striatum (DMS; homologous to the head of the caudate nucleus) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS; homologous to the body and tail of the caudate nucleus) in category learning by combining selective lesions with computational modeling. Using a touchscreen apparatus, rats were trained to categorize distributions of visual stimuli that varied along two continuous dimensions (i.e., spatial frequency and orientation). The tasks either required attention to one stimulus dimension (spatial frequency or orientation; 1D tasks) or both stimulus dimensions (spatial frequency and orientation; 2D tasks). Rats with NMDA lesions of the DMS were impaired on both the 1D tasks and 2D tasks, whereas rats with DLS lesions showed no impairments. The lesions did not affect performance on a discrimination task that had the same trial structure as the categorization tasks, suggesting that the category impairments effected processes relevant to categorization. Model simulations were conducted using a neural network to assess the effect of the DMS lesions on category learning. Together, the results suggest that the DMS is critical to map category representations to appropriate behavioral responses, whereas the DLS is not necessary for categorization.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) involve brain wide abnormalities that contribute to a constellation of symptoms including behavioral inflexibility, cognitive dysfunction, learning impairments, altered social interactions, and perceptive time difficulties. Although a single genetic variation does not cause ASD, genetic variations such as one involving a non-canonical Wnt signaling gene, Prickle2, has been found in individuals with ASD.

    Abstract Background: Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in MRI has been shown to correlate with postoperative House-Brackmann (HB) scores in patients with vestibular schwannoma despite limited methodology. To rectify limitations of single region of interest (ROI) sampling, we hypothesize that whole-tumor ADC histogram analysis will refine the predictive value of this preoperative biomarker related to postoperative facial nerve function.
    Methods: Of 155 patients who underwent resection of vestibular schwannoma (2014-2020), 125 patients were included with requisite clinical and radiographic data. After volumetric analysis and whole-tumor ADC histogram, regression tree analysis identified ADC cutoff for significant differences in HB grade. Outcomes were extent of resection, facial nerve function, hospital length of stay (LOS), and complications.
    Results: Regression tree analysis defined three quantitative ADC groups (× 10
    Conclusions: Whole-tumor histogram yielded a robust regression tree analysis that defined three ADC groups with significantly different facial nerve outcomes. This likely reflects tumor heterogeneity better than solid-tumor ROI sampling. Whole-tumor ADC warrants further study as a useful radiographic biomarker in patients with vestibular schwannoma who are considering surgical resection.

    Abstract Background: There is limited evidence on factors affecting critical decision making for horses with colic. This study's aim was to describe the assessment and decision making involved in horses referred for management of colic.
    Methods: An in-depth case analysis was used to document case presentation, decision making and outcomes for horses referred for colic to two UK equine veterinary practices over a 12-month period. The data recorded included previous history, presenting signs, response to treatment, case outcome and factors affecting decisions for further treatment or euthanasia.
    Results: Data were available for 60 cases: 55 were hospitalised for medical or surgical treatment and five horses were euthanased following initial assessment. The main factors affecting treatment decisions were severity of clinical signs (80%, 47/59), financial concerns (10%, 6/59) and ongoing health issues or previous history of colic (5%, 3/59). Factors associated with euthanasia decisions were postoperative complications (5/18), poor prognosis (4/18), deteriorating clinical signs (3/18) and financial concerns (3/18).
    Limitation: The limited study population may affect the extent to which the findings can be generalised.
    Conclusion: The severity of clinical signs was the key factor in treatment decision making. The main factors affecting euthanasia decisions were clinical deterioration, poor prognosis and financial constraints. These findings should be incorporated into clinical case recording to capture the multifactorial nature of decision making.

    Abstract Previous studies found that inactivation of the central amygdala (CeA) severely impaired acquisition of cerebellum-dependent delay eye-blink conditioning (EBC) in male rats and rabbits. Sex differences in EBC and the effects of stress on EBC have been reported and might be related to sex differences in amygdala modulation of cerebellar learning. The current study examined the effects of CeA inactivation with muscimol on acquisition and retention of EBC in female rats. Like male rats, CeA inactivation in female rats severely impaired EBC acquisition and retention. Comparison of the female data with previously published data from males indicates no substantive sex differences in the effects of CeA inactivation on acquisition or retention of EBC. The results indicate that amygdala modulation of cerebellar learning is not sex-specific. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
