  5. Article ; Online: Basal ganglia functional connectivity network analysis does not support the 'noisy signal' hypothesis of Parkinson's disease.

    Abstract The 'noisy signal' hypothesis of basal ganglia dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) suggests that major motor symptoms of the disorder are caused by the development of abnormal basal ganglia activity patterns resulting in the propagation of 'noisy' signals to target systems. While such abnormal activity patterns might be useful biomarkers for the development of therapeutic interventions, correlation between specific changes in activity and PD symptoms has been inconsistently demonstrated, and raises questions concerning the accuracy of the hypothesis. Here, we tested this hypothesis by considering three nodes of the basal ganglia network, the subthalamus, globus pallidus interna, and cortex during self-paced and cued movements in patients with PD. Interactions between these regions were analyzed using measures that assess both linear and non-linear relationships. Marked changes in the network are observed with dopamine state. Specifically, we detected functional disconnection of the basal ganglia from the cortex and higher network variability in untreated PD, but various patterns of directed functional connectivity with lower network variability in treated PD. When we examine the system output, significant correlation is observed between variability in the cortico-basal ganglia network and muscle activity variability but only in the treated state. Rather than supporting a role of the basal ganglia in the transmission of noisy signals in patients with PD, these findings suggest that cortico-basal ganglia network interactions by fault or design, in the treated Parkinsonian state, are actually associated with improved cortical network output variability.

    Abstract The importance of the visual system to birds for behaviours from feeding, mate choice, flying, navigation and determination of seasons, together with the presence of photoreceptors in the retina, the pineal and the brain, render the avian visual system a particularly fruitful model for understanding of eye-brain interactions. In this review we will particularly focus on the pigeon, since here we have a brain stereotactically mapped and a genome fully sequenced, together with a particular bird, the homing pigeon, with remarkable ability to navigate over hundreds of miles and return to exactly the same roosting site with exceptional precision. We might denigrate the avian species by the term bird brained, but here are animals with phenomenal abilities to use their exceptional vision, their eagle eyedness, to best advantage.

    Abstract The concept of motivation is broad and multi-faceted. In health psychology, motivation has been conceptualized as cravings, urges, or desires for unhealthy behaviors, such as consumption of alcohol, cigarettes, or calorie-dense foods; or as behavioral intentions or proximal goals for healthy behaviors, such as smoking cessation, physical activity, or condom use. Because of the differences in terminology and associated theoretical underpinnings, it is difficult to characterize the state of the science or integrate research findings on motivation for health-related behavior. The present paper introduces a meta-theoretical Automatic-Reflective Motivation Framework (ARM-F) with the goals of organizing and integrating theory and research on motivation for health-related behaviors. At the first and broadest level, the ARM-F defines general motivation as
