Tools for measuring the brain:
What You Can and Cant Do WithEEG and MRIAJ Shackman13 October 2014Just As People Differ, Brains Differ3Individual maps from 17 subjects
These subjects are all supposed to be "the same
Activation blobs are common, but strength (relative to noise) varies a lot

How do you compute ERPs?
You compute the average potential (voltage) evoked by a particular event
Strengths & Weaknesses of EEG/ERPStrengthsCheap
EEG can be used in more places than fMRI/PET, as these techniques require bulky and immobile equipment (fMRI requires the use of a multi-ton magnet in a shielded room)
Millisecond temporal resolution
Relatively tolerant of subject movement, unlike most other neuroimaging techniques (kids!)
Silent, which allows for better study of the responses to auditory stimuli.
Does not aggravate claustrophobia, unlike fMRI
Does not involve exposure to radioligands, unlike positron emission tomography
WeaknessesPoor spatial resolution, particularly for deep structures

fMRI Does NOT Measure Neuronal Activity
It Measures Blood Oxygenation

How do we estimate fMRI activation?Conceptually Similar to ERPs

fMRI CaveatsfMRI CaveatsMeasuring blood oxygenation not neurons!Although recent work suggests that, unlike EEG, the BOLD signal is strongly correlated with neuronal spiking (Lima et al J Neuro 2014)
Not entirely clear whether fMRI signal reflects neuronal activationWe also know, however, that the fMRI signal is often unable to differentiate between function-specific processing and neuromodulation, between bottom-up and top-down signals, and it may occasionally confuse excitation and inhibition (Logothetis, 2008). [Logothetis Neuroimage 2012]
Not clear whether functional connectivity (cross-correlation of time-series) reflects true coupling between regions (e.g., regulation or the transmission of information)fMRI CaveatsMeasuring blood oxygenation not neurons!Although recent work suggests that, unlike EEG, the BOLD signal is strongly correlated with neuronal spiking (Lima et al J Neuro 2014)

Reality Check: Whats Lurking in a Voxel
A complex mesh of vessels, different kinds of neuronsand glia; all contributing to the fMRI signal
A single voxel contains
* 5.5 million neurons* 22 km of dendrites* 220 km of axons* 4 x 1010 (40B) synapses

fMRI Experiment Stages: Anatomicals4) Take anatomical (T1) images high-resolution images (e.g., 0.75 x 0.75 x 3.0 mm) 3D data: 3 spatial dimensions, sampled at one point in time 64 anatomical slices takes ~4 minutes
64 slices x 3 mm
78-79-Some FMRI DataLeft = decent looking single subject activation mapFrom 300 s of data (150 time points)Right = data time series that gives activation mapThis is good data [strong activation, little head movement]
79Hemodynamic Response Function (HRF)Time course of fMRI is ~6 seconds (blood flow is slow!)
Dip because neurons begin to extract oxygen before oxyHb arrivesIncrease in oxyHb because new oxyHb has overcompensatedBack to baseline because neurons extract oxygen so oxyHb becomes deoxyHb10 seconds4-6 secondsCheesy class demonstration Im neuron, first have pass through in single file I pat each and hands go up for deoxyHB. Then when I fire come in mob, I pat some then check how many oxy. that is fmri signal.80FMRI ExperimentFSFFFSSSSFaces

E.g., Diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension
Clinical presentation: Patient complains of fatigue; whats the Dx?
Differential Diagnosis: challenges (stress test) and assays to determine a primary etiology and Dx
E.g., glucose tolerance test, serum cholesterol, BP
Similar symptoms, different endophenotypes, different genetic underpinnings
Gottesman & Gould Amer J Psychiatry 2003
Promises to enhance:
Etiology (cause)What is the proximal biological cause(s) of the disorder/T&P?
Nosology (Dx)Unlike many physical diseases, psychiatric disorders/T&P are defined by symptoms not pathophysiology; understanding the etiology would lead to a restructuring of nosology (or the Big 3 or 5 Factors)
Challenging to know how disorders/factors should be clumped together what if symptoms reflect similar vs. different causes?E.g., growing biological evidence that SZ and BPD are related
PrognosisIf we understood the etiology, we could better predict the likely outcome (cf. Moffitt)
Treatment (Personalized or Precision Medicine)Most disorders resist treatment; extant treatments work for a subset of patientsIf we understood the etiology, we could target treatments, enhancing cost/benefit
Early intervention for high-risk populations (e.g., cholesterol test statins)Screen identify intervene before the deleterious secondary consequences emergeThe PromiseMRI vs. fMRI
