Specific versus nonspecific brain activity in a parametric N-back task.

Abstract:

:In this study functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine cerebral activity patterns in relation to increasing mental load of a working memory task. Aim of the experiment was to distinguish nonspecific task-related processes from specific workload processes analytically. Twelve healthy volunteers engaged in a spatial n-back task with four levels. FMRI data were acquired with the 3D-PRESTO pulse sequence. Analysis entailed a two-step multiple regression algorithm, which was specifically designed to measure and separate load-sensitive and load-insensitive activity simultaneously, while preserving the original high spatial resolution of the fMRI signal. Load-sensitive and load-insensitive activity was found in both dorsolateral-prefrontal and parietal cortex, predominantly bilaterally, and in the anterior cingulate. As expected, the left primary sensorimotor cortex showed predominantly load-insensitive activity. Load-sensitive activity reflects specific working memory functions, such as temporary retention and manipulation of information, while load-insensitive activity reflects supportive functions, such as visual orientation, perception, encoding, and response selection and execution. Good performance was correlated with a large area of load-sensitive activity in anterior cingulate, and with a small area of load-insensitive activity in the right parietal cortex. The findings indicate that nonspecific and specific working memory processes colocalize and are represented in multiple frontal and parietal regions. Implication of this analytical strategy for application in research on psychiatric disorders is discussed.
