Segregation of cortical head direction cell assemblies on alternating ? cycles.

ABSTRACT: High-level cortical systems for spatial navigation, including entorhinal grid cells, critically depend on input from the head direction system. We examined spiking rhythms and modes of synchrony between neurons participating in head direction networks for evidence of internal processing, independent of direct sensory drive, which may be important for grid cell function. We found that head direction networks of rats were segregated into at least two populations of neurons firing on alternate theta cycles (theta cycle skipping) with fixed synchronous or anti-synchronous relationships. Pairs of anti-synchronous theta cycle skipping neurons exhibited larger differences in head direction tuning, with a minimum difference of 40 degrees of head direction. Septal inactivation preserved the head direction signal, but eliminated theta cycle skipping of head direction cells and grid cell spatial periodicity. We propose that internal mechanisms underlying cycle skipping in head direction networks may be critical for downstream spatial computation by grid cells.

Project description:Quantitative susceptibility mapping employs regularization to reduce artifacts, yet many recent denoisers are unavailable for reconstruction. We developed a plug-and-play approach to QSM reconstruction (PnP QSM) and show its flexibility using several patch-based denoisers. We developed PnP QSM using alternating direction method of multiplier framework and applied collaborative filtering denoisers. We apply the technique to the 2016 QSM Challenge and in 10 glioblastoma multiforme datasets. We compared its performance with four published QSM techniques and a multi-orientation QSM method. We analyzed magnetic susceptibility accuracy using brain region-of-interest measurements, and image quality using global error metrics. Reconstructions on glioblastoma data were analyzed using ranked and semiquantitative image grading by three neuroradiologist observers to assess image quality (IQ) and sharpness (IS). PnP-BM4D QSM showed good correlation (β = 0.84, R2 = 0.98, p < 0.05) with COSMOS and no significant bias (bias = 0.007 ± 0.012). PnP-BM4D QSM achieved excellent quality when assessed using structural similarity index metric (SSIM = 0.860), high frequency error norm (HFEN = 58.5), cross correlation (CC = 0.804), and mutual information (MI = 0.475) and also maintained good conspicuity of fine features. In glioblastoma datasets, PnP-BM4D QSM showed higher performance (IQGrade = 2.4 ± 0.4, ISGrade = 2.7 ± 0.3, IQRank = 3.7 ± 0.3, ISRank = 3.9 ± 0.3) compared to MEDI (IQGrade = 2.1 ± 0.5, ISGrade = 2.1 ± 0.6, IQRank = 2.4 ± 0.6, ISRank = 2.9 ± 0.2) and FANSI-TGV (IQGrade = 2.2 ± 0.6, ISGrade = 2.1 ± 0.6, IQRank = 2.7 ± 0.3, ISRank = 2.2 ± 0.2). We illustrated the modularity of PnP QSM by interchanging two additional patch-based denoisers. PnP QSM reconstruction was feasible, and its flexibility was shown using several patch-based denoisers. This technique may allow rapid prototyping and validation of new denoisers for QSM reconstruction for an array of useful clinical applications.
