Contribution of the slow motion mechanism to global motion revealed by an MAE technique.

ABSTRACT: Two different motion mechanisms have been identified with motion aftereffect (MAE). (1) A slow motion mechanism, accessed by a static MAE, is sensitive to high-spatial and low-temporal frequency; (2) a fast motion mechanism, accessed by a flicker MAE, is sensitive to low-spatial and high-temporal frequency. We examined their respective responses to global motion after adapting to a global motion pattern constructed of multiple compound Gabor patches arranged circularly. Each compound Gabor patch contained two gratings at different spatial frequencies (0.53 and 2.13 cpd) drifting in opposite directions. The participants reported the direction and duration of the MAE for a variety of global motion patterns. We discovered that static MAE durations depended on the global motion patterns, e.g., longer MAE duration to patches arranged to see rotation than to random motion (Exp 1), and increase with global motion strength (patch number in Exp 2). In contrast, flicker MAEs durations are similar across different patterns and adaptation strength. Further, the global integration occurred at the adaptation stage, rather than at the test stage (Exp 3). These results suggest that slow motion mechanism, assessed by static MAE, integrate motion signals over space while fast motion mechanisms do not, at least under the conditions used.

Project description:Sleep slow oscillations (SOs, 0.5-1.5 Hz) are thought to organize activity across cortical and subcortical structures, leading to selective synaptic changes that mediate consolidation of recent memories. Currently, the specific mechanism that allows for this selectively coherent activation across brain regions is not understood. Our previous research has shown that SOs can be classified on the scalp as Global, Local or Frontal, where Global SOs are found in most electrodes within a short time delay and gate long-range information flow during NREM sleep. The functional significance of space-time profiles of SOs hinges on testing if these differential SOs scalp profiles are mirrored by differential depth structure of SOs in the brain. In this study, we built an analytical framework to allow for the characterization of SO depth profiles in space-time across cortical and sub-cortical regions. To test if the two SO types could be differentiated in their cortical-subcortical activity, we trained 30 machine learning classification algorithms to distinguish Global and non-Global SOs within each individual, and repeated this analysis for light (Stage 2, S2) and deep (slow wave sleep, SWS) NREM stages separately. Multiple algorithms reached high performance across all participants, in particular algorithms based on k-nearest neighbors classification principles. Univariate feature ranking and selection showed that the most differentiating features for Global vs. non-Global SOs appeared around the trough of the SO, and in regions including cortex, thalamus, caudate nucleus, and brainstem. Results also indicated that differentiation during S2 required an extended network of current from cortical-subcortical regions, including all regions found in SWS and other basal ganglia regions, and amygdala and hippocampus, suggesting a potential functional differentiation in the role of Global SOs in S2 vs. SWS. We interpret our results as supporting the potential functional difference of Global and non-Global SOs in sleep dynamics.
