Scientific reports·2022

Monkeys performing a visual discrimination task showed that the P3 event-related potential (ERP) emerged specifically for target stimuli. P3 amplitude decreased with higher target probabilities, indicating its role in processing infrequent, relevant visual information.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Visual Neuroscience

Background:

  • Event-related potentials (ERPs) are crucial for understanding neural processing of visual stimuli.
  • The P3 component of ERPs is associated with attention and context updating.
  • Monkeys trained on go/no-go tasks provide a model for studying decision-making and stimulus evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the emergence and characteristics of P3 event-related potentials (ERPs) in monkeys during a visual oddball discrimination task.
  • To examine the influence of stimulus probability and response windows on visual ERPs, including P3.
  • To determine the relationship between P3 potentials and eye movements in a task-relevant context.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a visual oddball paradigm with sinusoidal gratings of varying orientations (0 vs. 25 degrees).

  • Monkeys performed a go/no-go task, releasing a lever within specified response windows (480-1762 ms or 740-1672 ms).
  • Recorded primary visual evoked potentials and P3 signals at Cz, P3, and P4 electrode sites, manipulating target stimulus probabilities (1.0, 0.5, 0.3).

    • Main Results:

    • Primary visual evoked potentials were similar for target and non-target stimuli and unaffected by response windows.
    • P3 signals progressively emerged specifically in response to the target stimulus, with consistent latencies and amplitudes across key electrode sites.
    • P3 amplitude showed an inverse relationship with target probability, disappearing when the target was presented 100% of the time.
    • Eye movements did not correlate with P3 potentials, and neither primary visual potentials nor P3 were significantly affected by the response windows.

    Conclusions:

    • The P3 ERP component in monkeys is a reliable indicator of target stimulus processing within a visual oddball paradigm.
    • P3 amplitude is sensitive to the probability of target occurrence, reflecting its role in novelty detection and attention.
    • The findings support the use of monkey models for studying the neural mechanisms underlying attention and stimulus evaluation via ERPs.
