{ "pk": 24539, "title": "Modulation of rhythmic brain circuitry alters the pattern of experience-based decision processing", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Understanding and modulating cognitive aspects of decision-making and reinforcement learning are crucial for addressing neuropsychiatric problems like substance use disorders (SUD). We developed a non-invasive stimulation method to modulate theta phase synchronization between the medial prefrontal cortex and right lateral prefrontal cortex. Our EEG-informed modulation led to bidirectional changes in learning-based decision-making, including error-related components and brain signatures. In fact, by combining HD-tACS with mathematical modeling, we revealed that in-phase/antiphase HD-tACS over the mPFC and rPFC significantly altered (synchronized/desynchronized) theta phase coupling between these regions, influencing decision accuracy (improved/impaired), and neurocomputational parameters of learning-based decision-making. Additionally, this modulation rescued/disrupted the causal link between brain error monitoring and cognitive control systems in healthy/SUD participants, and reshaped punishment-guided decision and learning components. We concluded theta rhythms in the mPFC and mPFC-rPFC coupling play a unifying causal role in regulating choice, learning, and behavioral adaptation in both healthy and patient populations.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Cognitive Neuroscience; Learning; Brain Stimulation; Computational Modeling; Electroencephalography (EEG)" } ], "section": "Abstracts", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1b78f317", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "sadegh", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ghaderi", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences Cognitive modeling", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Mohammad", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Hemami", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jamal", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Amani Rad", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Shahid Beheshti University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Reza", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "khosrowabadi", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2024-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24539/galley/21385/download/" }, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24539/galley/14136/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24539/galley/21385/download/" } ] }
