    Abstract Activity observed in biological neural networks is determined by anatomical connectivity between cortical areas. The monkey frontoparietal network facilitates cognitive functions, but the organization of its connectivity is unknown. Here, a new connectivity matrix is proposed which shows that the network utilizes a small-world architecture and the 3-node M9 motif. Its areas exhibit relatively homogeneous connectivity with no suggestion of the hubs seen in scale-free networks. Crucially, its M9 dynamical relay motif is optimally arranged for near-zero and non-zero phase synchrony to arise in support of cognition, serving as a candidate topological mechanism for previously reported findings. These results can serve as a benchmark to be used in the treatment of neurological disorders where the types of cognition the frontoparietal network supports are impaired.

    Abstract This paper is a review of cognitive neurodynamics research as it pertains to recent advances in Multivariate Autoregressive (MVAR) modeling. Long-range synchronization between the frontoparietal network (FPN) and forebrain subcortical systems occurs when multiple neuronal actions are coordinated across time (Chafee and Goldman-Rakic, 1998), resulting in large-scale measurable activity in the EEG. This paper reviews the power and advantages of the MVAR method to analyze long-range synchronization between brain regions (Kaminski et al., 2016; Kaminski and Blinowska, 2017). It explores the synchronization expressed in neurocognitive networks that is observable in the local field potential (LFP), an EEG-like signal, and in fMRI time series. In recent years, the surge in MVAR modeling in cognitive neurodynamics experiments has highlighted the effectiveness of the method, particularly in analyzing continuous neural signals such as EEG and fMRI (Pereda et al., 2005). MVAR modeling has been particularly useful in identifying causality, a multichannel time-series measure that can only be consistently computed with multivariate processes. Due to the multivariate nature of neuronal communication, multiple non-linear multivariate-analysis models are successful, presenting results with much greater accuracy and speed than non-linear univariate-analysis methods. Granger's framework provides causal information about neuronal flow using neural time and frequency analysis, comprising the basis of the MVAR model. Recent advancements in MVAR modeling have included Directed Transfer Function (DTF) and Partial Directed Coherence (PDC), multivariate methods based on MVAR modeling that are capable of determining causal influences and directed propagation of EEG activity. The related Granger causality is an increasingly popular tool for measuring directed functional interactions from time series data.

    Abstract We report group level differential detection of medial temporal lobe resting-state functional connectivity disruption and morphometric changes in the transition from cognitively normal to early mild cognitive impairment in an age-, education- and gender-matched 105 subjects Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset. In mild Alzheimer's Disease, but not early mild cognitive impairment, characteristic brain atrophy was detected in FreeSurfer estimates of subcortical and hippocampal subfield volumes and cortical thinning. By contrast, functional connectivity analysis detected earlier significant changes. In early mild cognitive impairment these changes involved medial temporal lobe regions of transentorhinal, perirhinal and entorhinal cortices (associated with the earliest stages of neurofibrillary changes in Alzheimer's Disease), hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus and temporal pole, and cortical regions comprising or co-activated with the default-mode network, including rostral and medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, precuneus and inferior temporal cortex. Key findings include: a) focal, bilaterally symmetric spatial organization of affected medial temporal lobe regions; b) mutual hyperconnectivity involving ventral medial temporal lobe structures (temporal pole, uncus); c) dorsal medial temporal lobe hypoconnectivity with anterior and posterior midline default-mode network nodes; and d) a complex pattern of transient and persistent changes in hypo- and hyper-connectivity across Alzheimer's Disease stages. These findings position medial temporal lobe resting state functional connectivity as a candidate biomarker of an Alzheimer's Disease pathophysiological cascade, potentially in advance of clinical biomarkers, and coincident with biomarkers of the earliest stages of Alzheimer's neuropathology.

    Abstract Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current 'task at hand' by conveying behavioral context to these systems. Accumulating evidence indicates that top-down cortical influences are carried by directed interareal synchronization of oscillatory neuronal populations, with recent results pointing to beta-frequency oscillations as particularly important for top-down processing. However, it remains to be determined if top-down beta-frequency oscillations indeed convey behavioral context. We measured spectral Granger Causality (sGC) using local field potentials recorded from microelectrodes chronically implanted in visual areas V1/V2, V4, and TEO of two rhesus macaque monkeys, and applied multivariate pattern analysis to the spatial patterns of top-down sGC. We decoded behavioral context by discriminating patterns of top-down (V4/TEO-to-V1/V2) beta-peak sGC for two different task rules governing correct responses to identical visual stimuli. The results indicate that top-down directed influences are carried to visual cortex by beta oscillations, and differentiate task demands even before visual stimulus processing. They suggest that top-down beta-frequency oscillatory processes coordinate processing of sensory information by conveying global knowledge states to early levels of the sensory cortical hierarchy independently of bottom-up stimulus-driven processing.

    Abstract Top-down processing in the neocortex underlies important cognitive functions such as predictive coding and attentional set. We review evidence indicating that top-down neocortical processes are carried by interareal synchrony, particularly in the beta frequency band. We hypothesize that top-down neocortical signals in the beta band convey behavioral context to low-level sensory neurons. We further speculate that large-scale distributed networks, self-organized at the highest hierarchical levels, are the source of top-down signals in the neocortex.
