项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Purposeful human behavior requires attention, decisions and action, all basic functions mediated by brain networks primarily located in the neocortex, but modulated and shaped by sub-cortical processing. Behavioral and brain mechanisms of attention, including vigilance, orienting and perceptual and action selection, are key gateways into high-level function. Thus, in a general and even specific sense, attention, decision making and the ensuing actions define human mental activities. Deficits in these functions are common in both neurological and psychiatric disorders and can result in a wide range of higher-order behavioral deficits. We propose to establish a COBRE Center for Central Nervous System Function at Brown University that will investigate the mechanisms of higher brain function, with a focus on attention, decision making and action and disorders that modify these key systems, using a combination of genetic, behavior, and systems neuroscience approaches. This COBRE consists of five research projects led by junior faculty. Morrow will investigate the neurobiology of children diagnosed with "difficult-to-treat autism," a group that often presents with obsessive compulsive behaviors. Amso will investigate the typical development of visual selective attention and the mechanisms of its disruption in autism spectrum disorder. Worden will examine selective attention mechanisms resulting from conflict. Asaad will investigate interactions between neocortex and basal ganglia during attention-based associative decision-making. Song will investigate how multiple neural systems become integrated to select actions, such as choosing to pick up a red instead of a blue pencil. A Design and Analysis Core will facilitate the research goals of these projects and benefit the broader Brown community by developing new tools and optimizing existing ones to image brain structure and function with MRI and EEG and neural recordings; and ensuring proper experimental design and analysis procedures across projects. Project leaders will benefit from senior faculty mentors who will provide support and guidance on research, publication, and grant preparation. An Administrative Core will oversee the operations of this COBRE (Center. The COBRE Center for Central Nervous System Function will fall under the auspices of the Brown Institute for Brain Science. The COBRE Center will leverage the administrative resources available through the Brown Institute for Brain Science to ensure efficient operation and coordinate with other brain science research activities at Brown.

描述（由申请人提供）：有目的的人类行为需要注意，决策和行动，这是由主要位于新皮层中的大脑网络介导的所有基本功能，但通过亚皮质处理进行了调节和塑造。注意的行为和大脑机制，包括警惕，定向和感知和行动选择，是通往高级功能的关键门户。因此，从一般甚至具体的意义上讲，注意力，决策和随后的行动定义了人类的心理活动。这些功能的缺陷在神经系统和精神疾病中都是常见的，并且可能导致广泛的高阶行为缺陷。我们建议在布朗大学建立一个中枢神经系统功能的鞋垫中心，该中心将研究较高的大脑功能的机制，重点是使用遗传，行为和系统神经科学方法的注意力，决策和行动以及修改这些关键系统的注意力。该鞋底由初级教师领导的五个研究项目组成。 Morrow将调查诊断为“难以治疗自闭症”的儿童的神经生物学，该群体经常表现为强迫性行为。 AMSO将研究视觉选择性关注的典型发展及其在自闭症谱系障碍中破坏的机制。 Worden将检查冲突引起的选择性注意机制。 ASAAD将在基于注意力的关联决策过程中研究新皮层与基底神经节之间的相互作用。歌曲将研究多个神经系统如何集成到选择动作，例如选择拿起红色而不是蓝色铅笔。设计和分析核心将促进这些项目的研究目标，并通过开发新工具并优化现有工具来通过MRI和EEG和EEG和神经记录来对大脑结构和功能进行优化，从而使更广泛的棕色社区受益；并确保跨项目的适当实验设计和分析程序。项目领导者将受益于高级教师导师，他们将提供有关研究，出版和赠款准备的支持和指导。行政核心将监督该牢房（中心。中心神经系统功能中心的运营，将属于布朗脑科学研究所的主持人。柯布雷中心将利用布朗脑科学研究所获得的行政资源来确保布朗在布朗的其他脑科学研究活动，并与其他脑科学研究活动进行协调。
