Diminished Neural Adaptation During Implicit Learning In Autism, Sarah Schipul, Marcel Just Dec 2015

Diminished Neural Adaptation During Implicit Learning In Autism, Sarah Schipul, Marcel Just

Marcel Adam Just

Neuroimaging studies have shown evidence of disrupted neural adaptation during learning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in several types of tasks, potentially stemming from frontal-posterior cortical underconnectivity (Schipul et al., 2012). The aim of the current study was to examine neural adaptations in an implicit learning task that entails participation of frontal and posterior regions. Sixteen high-functioning adults with ASD and sixteen neurotypical control participants were trained on and performed an implicit dot pattern prototype learning task in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) session. During the preliminary exposure to the type of implicit prototype learning task later …


Structural And Functional Neuroplasticity In Human Learning Of Spatial Routes, Timothy Keller, Marcel Just Dec 2015

Structural And Functional Neuroplasticity In Human Learning Of Spatial Routes, Timothy Keller, Marcel Just

Marcel Adam Just

Recent findings with both animals and humans suggest that decreases in microscopic movements of water in the hippocampus reflect short-term neuroplasticity resulting from learning. Here we examine whether such neuroplastic structural changes concurrently alter the functional connectivity between hippocampus and other regions involved in learning. We collected both diffusion-weighted images and fMRI data before and after humans performed a 45 min spatial route-learning task. Relative to a control group with equal practice time, there was decreased diffusivity in the posterior-dorsal dentate gyrus of the left hippocampus in the routelearning group accompanied by increased synchronization of fMRI-measured BOLD …

Aberrant Functioning Of The Theory-Of-Mind Network In Children And Adolescents With Autism., Rajesh Kana, Jose Maximo, Diane Williams, Timothy Keller, Sarah Schipul, Vladimir Cherkassky, Nancy Minshew, Marcel Just

Background: Theory-of-Mind (ToM), the ability to infer people’s thoughts and feelings, is a pivotal skill in effective social interactions. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been found to have altered ToM skills, which significantly impacts the quality of their social interactions. Neuroimaging studies have reported altered activation of the ToM cortical network, especially in adults with autism, yet little is known about the brain responses underlying ToM in younger individuals with ASD. This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated the neural mechanisms underlying ToM in high-functioning children and adolescents with ASD and matched typically developing (TD) peers.

Monitoring The Growth Of The Neural Representations Of New Animal Concepts, Andrew Bauer, Marcel Just Dec 2014

Monitoring The Growth Of The Neural Representations Of New Animal Concepts, Andrew Bauer, Marcel Just

Marcel Adam Just

Although enormous progress has recently been made in identifying the neural representations of individual object concepts, relatively little is known about the growth of a neural knowledge representation as a novel object concept is being learned. In this fMRI study, the growth of the neural representations of eight individual extinct animal concepts was monitored as participants learned two features of each animal, namely its habitat (i.e., a natural dwelling or scene) and its diet or eating habits. Dwelling/ scene information and diet/eating-related information have each been shown to activate their own characteristic brain regions. Several converging methods were used here …
