2018 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting-541. Increased Dynamic Modularity of the Fronto-Temporo-Limbic Network Precedes Enhanced Task Performance

541. Increased Dynamic Modularity of the Fronto-Temporo-Limbic Network Precedes Enhanced Task Performance

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Butch discusses the concept of adaptability in relation to task performance. He explains how neural networks must enable cognitive adaptability and how community structure within these networks plays a role in adaptability. Dr. Butch presents findings from a study involving epilepsy patients and a non-human primate. The study focuses on the frontotemporal limbic network and analyzes network metrics during a temporal expectancy task. The results show that community structure fluctuates on a trial-by-trial basis and that increased modularity in the low-frequency narrowband is associated with enhanced task performance. The goal is to further expand the research and develop a technology for closed-loop stimulation to manipulate network metrics. Dr. Butch thanks colleagues and the neurosurgery department for their support. No other credits are mentioned in the video.
