    Functional imaging and lesion studies in humans and animals suggest that the basal ganglia are crucial for temporal information processing. To elucidate neuronal mechanisms of interval timing in the basal ganglia, we recorded single- unit activity from the striatum of two monkeys while they performed a visual duration discrimination task. In the task, blue and red cues of different durations (0.2–2.0 sec) were successively presented. Each of the two cues was followed by a 1.0 sec delay period. The animals were instructed to choose the longer presented colored stimulus after the second delay period. A total of 498 phasically active neurons were recorded from the striatum, and 269 neurons were defined as task related. Two types of neuronal activity were distinguished during the delay periods. First, the activity gradually changed depending on the duration of the cue presented just before. This activity may represent the signal duration for later comparison between two cue durations. The activity during the second cue period also represented duration of the first cue. Second, the activity changed differently depending on whether the first or second cue was presented longer. This activity may represent discrimination results after the comparison between the two cue durations. These findings support the assumption that striatal neurons represent timing information of sensory signals for duration discrimination.

    Neural imaging studies have revealed that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) participates in time perception. However, actual functional roles remain unclear. We trained two monkeys to perform a duration-discrimination task, in which two visual cues were presented consecutively for different durations ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 s. The subjects were required to choose the longer cue. We recorded single-neuron activity from the PFC while the subjects were performing the task. Responsive neurons for the first cue period were extracted and classified through a cluster analysis of firing rate curves. The neuronal activity was categorized as phasic, ramping and sustained patterns. Among them, the phasic activity was the most prevailing. Peak time of the phasic activity was broadly distributed about 0.8 s after cue onset, leading to a natural assumption that the phasic activity was related to cognitive processes. The phasic activity with constant delay after cue onset might function to filter current cue duration with the peak time. The broad distribution of the peak time would indicate that various filtering durations had been prepared for estimating C1 duration. The most frequent peak time was close to the time separating cue durations into long and short. The activity with this peak time might have had a role of filtering in attempted duration discrimination. Our results suggest that the PFC contributes to duration discrimination with temporal filtering in the cue period.

    To clarify the roles of the basal ganglia in time perception, single-unit activity was recorded from both sides of the striatum of a monkey performing a duration discrimination task. In the task, two visual cues were presented successively in different durations (0.2 similar to 1.6 s). Each cue presentation was followed by a 1-s delay period. The subject was instructed to choose a longer presented cue after the second delay period. There were two types of trials for sequence of cue duration, the long-short (LS) trials in which the first cue (C1) was longer than the second cue (C2) and the short-long (SL) trials in which the C1 was shorter than the C2. Striatal neurons phasically responded during the first delay (D1) and second delay (D2) periods. Responses during the D1 period changed depending on C1 duration. Activity of populations of D1-response neurons correlated with C1 duration positively or negatively. Responses during the D2 period differed between the LS and SL trials. Activity of population of D2-response neurons also changed depending on C2 duration. But the dependence on C2 duration was affected by the trial type, that is, whether the C2 was longer or shorter compared to the C1.These findings suggest that striatal neurons could encode cue durations with monotonically changing responses in the D1 period and discrimination results between the two cue durations in the D2 period.

    Evidence from brain imaging studies has indicated involvement of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in time perception; however, the role of this area remains unclear. To address this issue, we recorded single neuronal activity from the PFC of two monkeys while they performed a duration-discrimination task. In the task, two visual cues (a blue or red square) were presented consecutively followed by delay periods and subjects then chose the cue presented for the longer duration. Durations of both cues, order of cue duration [long-short (LS) or short-long (SL)] and order of cue colour (blue-red or red-blue) were randomized on a trial-by-trial basis. We found that subjects responded differently between LS and SL trials and that most prefrontal neurones showed significantly different activity during either the first or the second delay period when comparing activity in LS and SL trials. The present result offers new insights into neural mechanisms of time perception. It appears that, during the delay periods, the PFC contributes to implement a strategic process in temporal processing associated with a trial type (LS or SL) such as representation of the trial type, retention of cue information and anticipation of the forthcoming cue.

    Spike train data of many neurons can be obtained by multirecording techniques however, the data make it difficult to estimate the connective structure in a large network. Neuron classification should be helpful in that regard, assuming that multiple neurons having similar connections with other neurons show a similar temporal firing pattern. We propose a novel method for classifying neurons based on temporal firing patterns of spike train data called the dynamical analysis with changing time resolution (DCT) method. The DCT method can evaluate temporal firing patterns by a simple algorithm with few arbitrary factors and automatically classify neurons by similarity of temporal firing patterns. In the DCT method, temporal firing patterns were objectively evaluated by analyzing their dependence on temporal resolution. We confirmed the effectiveness of the DCT method using actual spike train data.

    Motor evoked potential (MEP) by focal transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to test the functional integrity of the motor cortex in congenital hydrocephalic rats. Magnetic MEPs, using a figure-eight coil above the head, were recorded in the tibialis anterior muscle. The latency of transcranial magnetic MEP was 3.4 msec in nonhydrocephalic rats. In the hydrocephalic rats, the MEP had a lower threshold than in nonhydrocephalic rats, and showed two peaks. Latencies of early and late peaks were 3.9 msec and from 5.4 msec to 10.0 msec, respectively. Our findings suggest that hydrocephalus in rats is associated with changes in pyramidal cell excitability in the motor cortical area, probably induced by the fluctuations in cortical excitability and synaptic interaction in hydrocephalic rats.

    Magnetic stimulation of the brain and spinal cord was carried out in rats to record electromyogram (EMGs) from the gastrocnemius. A figure-eight coil was set over the middle of the dorsum, and shifted from the cervical vertebrae to the sacrum. The motor evoked potentials (MEPs) with 4.8 msec latency by transcranial magnetic stimulation and the descending wave with 4.7 msec latency by C3-C4 stimulation were recorded. In evoked EMGs by magnetic stimulation over T9-T10, L4-L5, S2-S3 and Ca2-Ca3 spinal cord levels, the causes of these two evoked components with short (1.5 msec) and long (4.1 msec) latencies were estimated to be the eddy current generated from the rostral to the caudal portion of the spinal cord. With the increase in magnetic stimuli, the relative sizes and disappearance of H- and M-like responses were comparable with the ordinary M- and H-responses in electrically evoked EMGs. The magnetic stimulation of the spinal cord activated the sciatic nerve at their vertebral exit, because the latencies of the H- and M-responses were constant despite the changing stimulus sites. Although magnetic stimulation with the figure-eight coil can be focused on the target, it is necessary to take into consideration the influence of the eddy current flowing in the body.

    The neuronal network of the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), which is a good prototype for biological studies, is investigated. Here, the neuronal network is simplified as a graph. We use three indicators to characterize the graph; vertex degree, generalized eccentricity (GE), and complete subgraphs. The graph has the central part and the strong clustering structure. We present a simple model, which shows that the neuronal network has a high-dimensional geometrical structure.

    For the physical study of the native responses of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), probability distribution of random walkers on the neuron graph is studied. Here, the neuron graph is a graph which represents the synaptic connection of neurons of the worm. Connection of a sensory neuron to various motor neurons are represented by an index named accessibility. Accessibilities from 39 sensory neurons to all of motor neurons are computed and the formers are classified into three groups. It is found that this classification coincides with the grouping by native responses caused by those sensory neurons. This coincidence implies the usefulness of the random walker model for the analysis of the neural network. The connectivity represented by the major paths of random walkers is a significant factor to interpret relation between external disturbance and resultant movement in the native response of the worm. This native response of the worm is encoded by the connectivity of vertices in the neuron graph.

    It is argued that a randomly fabricated electric circuit functions as an information processor. Indeed, the neuronal system of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a random network which processes various information for the survival of the worm. After properties of the connectivity of the neuronal system of the worm are reviewed to emphasize its randomness, it is confirmed that a network of resistors, which is topologically homologous to the neuronal network of C. elegans, can encode a decision table which is similar to the decision table of the native responses of the worm. Some structural properties, which are advantageous for the functioning of a random resistor network for an information processor, are discussed. In addition, it is suggested that a network of resistors with these propeties is a bundle of intertwisted wires connected by some resistive particles.

    This paper describes a simulational study on bifurcation and chaos of current oscillations in semiconductor with NDC (Negative Differential Conductivity) induced by the recombination instability. A one-dimensional model of gold-doped n-Ge has been proposed in which the recombination instability leads the system to instability and current oscillations, and the computations have been performed under the boundary conditions with d.c. bias. We found that this system exhibits complicated structure of bifurcations for current oscillations including chaotic behavior and unusual truncated branches on bifurcation diagrams at the transition region between two basic oscillation modes in the parameter space.

    We present a one-dimensional system of gold-doped n-Ge in which the recombination instability leads the system to instability and current oscillations. Using the finite difference method, spatio-temporal evolution of the high-field domain is computed with the bias voltage, the recombination coefficient, and the emission coefficient being taken as the control parameters. Three types of modes of operation: the Ohmic, the quenched and the transit-time modes are found. Non-periodic oscillations are also found in the transition region between the quenched and the transit-time modes. Their origins are clarified on the basis of spatio-temporal evolution of the high-field domain.

    A simulation model of the Gunn-effect device is considered. Using the finite difference method, spatio-temporal evolution of the system in the presence of the impact-ionization effect in the device is computed for n-GaAs with the recombination rate and the bias voltage being taken as the control parameters. We thereby show the motion of the Gunn-effect device exhibits non-periodic behavior due to its own autonomous nonlinearity even if it is not driven by an external periodic field. The domain motion is perturbed by the carrier generation due to the impact ionization, and it becomes non-periodic for specially chosen model parameters. It also exhibits the interpulse incoherent current oscillations similar to the ones observed experimentally. Some remarks are given on the mechanism giving rise to the nonperiodicity on the basis of spatio-temporal evolution of the high-field domain.

    A one-dimensional model system of the Gunn-effect device is considered. It consists of an n+-n-n+ GaAs sandwich structure where the high-n+ contact layers on both ends are linearly graded to the uniformly distributed low-n bulk region and a half-wave sinusoidal doping notch is incorporated near the cathode. Using the finite differece method, spatio-temporal evolution of the system subject to the dc and the rf-alternating fields is computed with the amplitudes and the frequency being taken as the control parameters. Current oscillations associated with the cyclic traveling high-electric-field domain are shown to materialize over a range of the control parameters. In particular, the current oscillations become chaotic at specially chosen values of these bias parameters.

    私たちは1秒と2秒の時間の長さを区別できます。まるで、脳内にストップウォッチがあるかの如く。しかし、そのメカニズムはほとんど分かっていません。これまでの研究により、前頭前野、運動補足野、運動前野、大脳基底核、頭頂葉、小脳、海馬などの多くの脳領域が時間知覚において何らかの形で関与していることが分かっています。しかし、それらの各領域が時間情報処理で具体的にどのような役割を担っているのかは分かっていません。また、精神疾患によって時間感覚が歪むことも知られており、時間知覚を診断に役立てようとする試みもあります。本研究課題では、脳の前頭前野、運動前野、大脳基底核といった脳領域が時間情報処理で具体的にどのような役割を果たしているのか、視覚と聴覚の両方を時間呈示に使う時間弁別課題と、3つの時間長カテゴリを区別する時間弁別課題を実験動物に与え、単一ニューロンレベルでのニューロン活動の記録とデータ解析によって明らかにすることを目的としています。異種感覚刺激を用いた時間弁別課題では、サルに視覚刺激と聴覚刺激という異なる感覚種で時間長を呈示します。視覚刺激では時間的に変化しない色のついた図形(緑色の四角形)を、聴覚刺激ではスピーカからの2,000Hzの純音を用います。両方を同時に用いることはなく、いずれか一方を使って時間長を呈示します。サルには、2つ続けて呈示された時間長のうち、より長く呈示された時間長を選択させました。3つの時間長カテゴリを区別する時間弁別課題では、当初、時間長カテゴリを区別するだけの課題を検討していましたが、2021年度は3つの時間長カテゴリの視覚刺激を呈示したのち、ボタン押しによってそのカテゴリとは別カテゴリの時間長を生成させる課題にバージョンアップし、トレーニングとニューロン活動の計測実験を進めました。2021年度は学会発表を2件行いました。

    We can stop a stopwatch in ten seconds with eyes closed. This suggests that our brain have timing function such as a “stopwatch”. Nonetheless, it is unclear how physical time is transformed into brain time. Temporal interval is a modality-independent physical attribute which can be perceived whether it is assigned to a visual, auditory or somatic stimulus. The frontal lobe receives inputs from multiple sensory systems and plays a role in integrating sensory information. It is therefore natural to speculate that the frontal lobe would participate in time perception and represent temporal attributes in some way. Monkeys were trained to discriminate between temporal durations associated with visual or auditory stimuli. Neuronal activity was recorded while the subjects were performing the task. We found various types neurons exhibiting phasic activity and sustained activity, and so on, which were associated with temporal processing from the prefrontal cortex and the premotor cortex.

    Time duration is the physical quantity that does not depend on sensory modalities such as visual and auditory senses. We can discriminate between one and two seconds, although we have no specialized organ for it. The prefrontal cortex receives visual, auditory, and somatosensory inputs. Also, previous studies have shown that the prefrontal cortex contributes to duration discrimination. Therefore, the prefrontal cortex is expected to play an important role in duration discrimination. I investigated neuronal activity during monkeys conducted a duration discrimination task, in which duration was assigned visual or auditory stimulus. The results suggest that the prefrontal cortex discriminates visual and auditory duration in different ways, rather than measuring duration after extraction of temporal information from different sensory inputs.

    The prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia are considered to be related with temporal estimation. However, their functions remains unclear. We recorded single-unit activity from the brain regions while monkeys were performing a duration discrimination task. We found that, in the striatum, phasic(transient) activity with various time intervals from the cue onset, which was previously found in the prefrontal cortex. Furthermore, striatal neurons showed duration-responsive activity in the following delay periods.

    脳の前頭前野や大脳基底核は時間計測に関与すると考えられていますが、具体的な役割は未解明です。我々は引き続いて呈示された図形の表示時間の違いを弁別する課題をサルに与えて、その課題遂行中に個々の神経細胞の活動を調べました(大脳基底核では世界初)。前頭前野が時間の長短を大まかに分ける標準時間によってフィルタリングすること、また、大脳基底核が遅延期間で時間長を発火頻度で符号化していることを見出しました。

    We have been conducting neurophysiological experiments to reveal neuronal mechanisms for temporal information processing in the prefrontal-basal ganglia circuit. Monkeys were trained to perform a duration discrimination task. In the task, two visual cues were presented successively in different duration (0.2〜1.6 sec). Each cue presentation was followed by a 1-sec delay period. The subjects were instructed to choose a longer presented cue after the second delay period. Single-unit activity was recorded from the prefrontal cortex and the striatum while the monkeys were performing the task.Prefrontal neurons showed phasic activity during the first cue period. The activity had peak time around 800ms that was close to the midpoint between long and short cue duration. This activity might have functioned for filtering cue duration to discriminate between long and short cues. In the first delay period prefrontal neurons exhibited differential activity following long and short cues. In the neurons with preference for long cues the delay activity after longer cues was uniformly high regardless of cue duration, but that after shorter cues was uniformly low. This binary change in the delay activity indicates that the prefrontal cortex could represent cue duration categorically as long or short. Striatal neurons phasically responded during the first and second delay periods. Responses during the first delay period changed depending on the first cue duration. Activity of populations of these neurons correlated with the first cue duration positively or negatively. Responses during the second delay period differed between long-short and short-long trials. These findings suggest that striatal neurons could encode cue duration with monotonically changing responses and discrimination results between the two cue durations.

    我々は、大脳皮質前頭連合野と大脳基底核をめぐるループ回路における時間情報処理機構の解明を目指して、研究を進めている。本研究では、視覚刺激の時間弁別課題を遂行中のサルを用いて、大脳皮質前頭連合野から神経細胞活動を記録し解析した。課題では、呈示時間の異なる2種類の視覚刺激を1秒間の遅延期間(D1期間)をはさんで呈示し、続く2回目の遅延期間(D2期間)後に、その2種類の視覚刺激を同時に呈示し、呈示時間の長かった方の視覚刺激を選択させた。呈示時間は200〜1600msの間で、100ms間隔で試行毎に変化させた。刺激呈示時間の長短の順序(長-短か短-長)や視覚刺激の種類の順序も、試行毎にランダムに変えた。動物の正答率は、二つの視覚刺激の呈示時間の時間差に加えて、長短の視覚刺激の呈示順序に影響された。訓練により動物が十分に課題を遂行できるようになった後、記録実験を遂行した。2頭のサルから記録した562ニューロンについて、遅延期間(D1とD2期間)の神経細胞活動を解析した。長-短試行と短-長試行とで比較してみると、93ニューロンで遅延期活動が異なっていた。61ニューロンがD1期間に、37ニューロンがD2期間に、5ニューロンが両期間に違いを示した。D1期間のみで活動が異なっていた61ニューロンのうち、36ニューロンで長-短試行の、25ニューロンで短-長試行の活動が大きかった。長-短試行で活動が増加したニューロン群について、1番目の視覚刺激の呈示時間とD1期間の発射活動との関連を分析した。このニューロン群の活動は、D1期間の開始直後から、長い刺激後と短い刺激後とでは異なっており、刺激呈示時間が900ms付近まで増加すると、活動がステップ状に増加していた。これらの結果は、前頭連合野の神経細胞が視覚刺激の呈示時間のカテゴリ化に関わっている可能性を示す。

    In order to examine functional roles of the prefrontal cortex in arbitrary visuomotor association, we recorded neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex, area 9m, of a behaving monkey during conditional visuomotor learning. The monkey was presented a cueing visual stimulus, and following a delay period required to push, pull, or turn a manipulator according to the cue. Under the control condition three cues instructed the monkey to the three responses in a block of trials. After a few months of training the animal was familiar with these associations. Under the learning condition, two of the three familiar cues and one novel cue were presented in a block. The monkey needed to learn a new cue-response association by trial and error. Area 9m neurons responded to cue presentation. The Cue responses changed whether a cue was familiar or novel. A group of area 9m neurons responded to a novel cue, bur not to familiar ones. Other group of neurons responded to familiar cues, but not to a novel one. In a subgroup of these familiar cue-selective neurons the cue responses were enhanced under the learning condition compared to the control condition. These results suggest that cue familiarity is represented in area 9m activity and/or that the activity may be involved in action selection during the arbitrary visuomotor association learning.
