Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Working memory (WM) is crucial for higher cognitive functions.
  • Neural networks and their dynamics underpin cognitive processes.
  • Understanding medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) network connectivity during WM is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate connectivity dynamics in mPFC networks during WM tasks.
  • Explore intrinsic connectivity properties in a reduced feature space using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF).

Main Methods:

  • Recorded simultaneous spikes from rat mPFC during a Y-maze WM task.
  • Converted spike data to time series and embedded into a low-dimensional space via NMF.
  • Constructed mPFC networks in both original and NMF spaces.
  • Estimated causal density (Cd) and global efficiency (E) to characterize network properties.

Main Results:

  • Cd and E significantly peaked before maze choice in correct WM trials, but not in error trials.
  • Network properties (Cd, E) showed similar trends in both original and NMF spaces for correct trials.
  • NMF space measures of Cd and E were significantly higher than in the original space.

Conclusions:

  • Anticipatory changes in mPFC network connectivity may influence future WM behavioral choices.
  • NMF analysis provides a more effective characterization of brain network properties compared to the original space.
