Abstract

Previous studies have demonstrated task-related changes in brain activation and inter-regional connectivity but the temporal dynamics of functional properties of the brain during task execution is still unclear. In the present study, we investigated task-related changes in functional properties of the human brain network by applying graph-theoretical analysis to magnetoencephalography (MEG). Subjects performed a cue-target attention task in which a visual cue informed them of the direction of focus for incoming auditory or tactile target stimuli, but not the sensory modality. We analyzed the MEG signal in the cue-target interval to examine network properties during attentional control. Cluster-based non-parametric permutation tests with the Monte-Carlo method showed that in the cue-target interval, beta activity was desynchronized in the sensori-motor region including premotor and posterior parietal regions in the hemisphere contralateral to the attended side. Graph-theoretical analysis revealed that, in beta frequency, global hubs were found around the sensori-motor and prefrontal regions, and functional segregation over the entire network was decreased during attentional control compared to the baseline. Thus, network measures revealed task-related temporal changes in functional properties of the human brain network, leading to the understanding of how the brain dynamically responds to task execution as a network.

摘要

以往的研究已经证明了与任务相关的大脑激活和区域间连接的变化,但在任务执行过程中大脑功能特性的时间动态仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们通过对脑磁图(MEG)应用图论分析来研究人类大脑网络功能特性中与任务相关的变化。受试者执行了一个线索-目标注意力任务,其中一个视觉线索告知他们即将到来的听觉或触觉目标刺激的关注方向,但不告知感觉模态。我们分析了线索-目标间隔内的MEG信号,以检查注意力控制期间的网络特性。采用蒙特卡洛方法的基于聚类的非参数置换检验表明,在线索-目标间隔内,β活动在与被关注侧对侧半球的包括运动前区和顶叶后区在内的感觉运动区域去同步化。图论分析表明,在β频率下,感觉运动区和前额叶区周围发现了全局枢纽,与基线相比,注意力控制期间整个网络的功能分离减少。因此,网络测量揭示了人类大脑网络功能特性中与任务相关的时间变化,从而有助于理解大脑作为一个网络如何动态响应任务执行。
