Abstract In our dynamic environments, predictive processing is vital for auditory perception and its associated behaviors. Predictive coding formalizes inferential processes by implementing them as information exchange across cortical layers areas. With laminar-specific blood oxygenation level dependent we measured responses to a cascading oddball paradigm, ground on the mesoscopic human architecture. We show that violation of predictions are potentially hierarchically organized with in superficial planum polare middle lateral temporal cortex. Moreover, relate updating brain’s internal model changes deep layers. Using modeling approach, derive putative neural dynamics while accounting draining effects. Our results support role architecture implementation highlight ability laminar fMRI investigate large extent

Is there a qualitative difference between apes’ and humans ‘ability to estimate others’ mental states’, a.k.a. ‘Theory-of-Mind’? After opting for the idea that expectations are empty profiles recognize particular content when it arrives, I apply same description ‘vicarious expectations’—very probably present in apes. Thus, (empty) vicarious one’s (full) contents distinguished without needing meta-representation. Then, propose: First, enough support Theory-of-Mind (including ‘spontaneous altruism’). Second, since require profile previously built subject activates them, this cannot activate any expectation of states intrinsically impossible him. Third, your think me as distal individual me, therefore, must contents. This ability (the original nucleus human Theory-of-Mind) is essential lifestyle. It involved unpleasant pleasant self-conscious emotions, which respectively contribute ‘social order’ cultural innovations. More basically, makes possible (prelinguistic or linguistic) communication, originally made understanding addressed therefore me.

Abstract Recent studies have shown that low-frequency oscillations in the cortex are often organized as traveling waves. The dynamical properties of these waves, span different scales, been linked to both sensory processing and cognitive functions. In EEG recordings, alpha-band (∼10Hz) waves propagate predominantly directions occipital-frontal axis, with forward being most prominent during visual processing, while backward dominate at rest suppression. While a previous study has proposed functional model explain their generation propagation, multi-scale, biologically plausible implementation is still lacking. Here, we present multi-scale network mean-field dynamics that, building on known interlaminar cortico-cortical projections, reproduces observed recordings. We show scalp-level can arise from two distinct sub-networks connected infragranular layers each area. At rest, generates spontaneous switches state upon bottom-up stimulation, reproducing recordings healthy participants.. then expand our cortico-thalamic parallel feedforward pathway through pulvinar. Our results this biases cortical high pulvinar engagement leads without external input. This result line suggesting key role for directing information flow cortex, provide computational basis investigate dynamics. summary, provides architecture modeling macroscale Importantly, bridges gap between scales by connecting laminar activity spatial patterns scalp level, providing grounded comprehensive view propagation

In response to shortcomings of the current classification system in translating discoveries from basic science clinical applications, NIMH offers a new framework for studying mental health disorders called Research Domain Criteria (RDoC). This holds multidimensional outlook on psychopathologies focusing functional domains behavior and their implementing neural circuits. parallel, Predictive Processing (PP) stands as leading theory human brain function, offering unified explanation various types information processing brain. While both frameworks share an interest based pathophysiology, integration still needs be explored. Here, we argued favor explanatory power PP groundwork RDoC matrix validating its constructs creating testable hypotheses about mechanistic interactions between molecular biomarkers traits.
