How do #learning processes related to reward exploitation and exploration interact with one another in the brain? This study uses behavior, neuroimaging, pharmacology, and modeling to reveal shared learning mechanisms, connecting with individual traits and experiences 🧪#AcademicSky plos.io/4fDkj27

Relationship between reward-learning interference and exploration-associated neural responses. The images show brain models on the left with regions of differential activity highlighted. Graphs on the right show significant correlations between neural activity patterns and behavior.

Using general linear model (GLM) 2 (see Materials and methods), dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) exhibited significant activations during exploration (contrast “Exploration> Exploitation”). Activated clusters were corrected for multiple comparisons at the whole-brain level (cluster-forming threshold of p < 0.001, and a cluster-level familywise error rate of p < 0.05). The color bar shows SPM-derived t scores. See S5 Table for details. Based on GLM3 (see Materials and methods), the BOLD signal extracted from the suprathreshold dmPFC clusters significantly covaried with the reduction in correct rates in reward-learning interference (RLINT) vs. reward-learning control (RLCON) trials.

Methodological highlight: We developed a novel spatial task that dissociates encoding vs. retrieval within-subjects using a high-dimensional behavioral readout. Standard memory tests might have missed this.

110

Canals Lab @canalslab.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Why does this matter? Memory flexibility is key in psychiatric disorders characterized by cognitive rigidity. Our study provides a mechanistic foundation for using NAc-DBS to improve cognitive flexibility.

110

Canals Lab @canalslab.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

fMRI revealed that NAc-DBS activates a broad memory-related brain network: septum, entorhinal & insular cortices—with some degree of adaptation but not desensitization over time. We propose it mimics a dopaminergic “novelty” signal, reinforcing the encoding of new information.

110

Canals Lab @canalslab.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Using high-resolution behavioral analysis & fMRI in rats, we dissected memory into short-term, long-term, encoding, and retrieval. 📌 Key finding: NAc-DBS enhances the encoding of new long-term memories—not short-term memory or recall.

110

Canals Lab @canalslab.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Why NAc-DBS? NAc-DBS is already used to treat psychiatric conditions like OCD and depression. But it could also boost memory. We designed a new spatial navigation task to find out.

Canals Lab @canalslab.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
