Linking implicit and explicit memory: common encoding factors and shared representations 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Dissociations between implicit and explicit memory have featured prominently in theories of human memory. However, similarities between the two forms of memory have been less studied. One open question concerns whether implicit and explicit memory share encoding resources. To explore this question, we employed a subsequent memory design in which several novel scenes were repeated once during an fMRI session and explicit memory for the scenes was unexpectedly tested afterward. Subsequently remembered scenes produced more behavioral priming and neural attenuation-two conventional measures of implicit memory-than did subsequently forgotten scenes. Moreover, brain-behavior correlations between these two implicit measures were mediated by subsequent memory. Finally, tonic activity, possibly reflecting the natural time course of attention, was predictive of subsequent memory. These results suggest that implicit and explicit memory are subject to the same encoding factors and can rely on similar perceptual processes and representations. 相似文献

Regularities are gradually represented in cortex after extensive experience [1], and yet they can influence behavior after minimal exposure [2, 3]. What kind of representations support such rapid statistical learning? The medial temporal lobe (MTL) can represent information from even a single experience [4], making it a good candidate system for assisting in initial learning about regularities. We combined anatomical segmentation of the MTL, high-resolution fMRI, and multivariate pattern analysis to identify representations of objects in cortical and hippocampal areas of human MTL, assessing how these representations were shaped by exposure to regularities. Subjects viewed a continuous visual stream containing hidden temporal relationships-pairs of objects that reliably appeared nearby in time. We compared the pattern of blood oxygen level-dependent activity evoked by each object before and after this exposure, and found that perirhinal cortex, parahippocampal cortex, subiculum, CA1, and CA2/CA3/dentate gyrus (CA2/3/DG) encoded regularities by increasing the representational similarity of their constituent objects. Most regions exhibited bidirectional associative shaping, whereas CA2/3/DG represented regularities in a forward-looking predictive manner. These findings suggest that object representations in MTL come to mirror the temporal structure of the environment, supporting rapid and incidental statistical learning. 相似文献

Replication slippage may cause parallel evolution in the secondary structures of mitochondrial transfer RNAs 总被引:9,自引:4,他引:5
Presence of the dihydrouridine (D) stem in the mitochondrial cysteine tRNA
is unusually variable among lepidosaurian reptiles. Phylogenetic and
comparative analyses of cysteine tRNA gene sequences identify eight
parallel losses of the D-stem, resulting in D-arm replacement loops.
Sampling within the monophyletic Acrodonta provides no evidence for
reversal. Slipped-strand mispairing of noncontiguous repeated sequences
during replication or direct replication slippage can explain repeats
observed within cysteine tRNAs that contain a D-arm replacement loop. These
two mechanisms involving replication slippage can account for the loss of
the cysteine tRNA D-stem in several lepidosaurian lineages, and may
represent general mechanisms by which the secondary structures of
mitochondrial tRNAs are altered.

The complete cDNA sequence and protein reading frame of a developmentally
regulated hemocyanin subunit in the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) is
presented. The protein sequence is aligned with 18 potentially homologous
hemocyanin-type proteins displaying apparent sequence similarities.
Functional domains are identified, and a comparison of predicted
hydrophilicities, surface probabilities, and regional backbone
flexibilities provides evidence for a remarkable degree of structural
conservation among the proteins surveyed. Parsimony analysis of the protein
sequence alignment identifies four monophyletic groups on the arthropodan
branch of the hemocyanin gene tree: crustacean hemocyanins, insect
hexamerins, chelicerate hemocyanins, and arthropodan prophenoloxidases.
They form a monophyletic group relative to molluscan hemocyanins and
nonarthropodan tyrosinases. Arthropodan prophenoloxidases, although
functionally similar to tyrosinases, appear to belong to the arthropodan
hexamer- type hemolymph proteins as opposed to molluscan hemocyanins and
tyrosinases.

Microsatellite allele frequencies in humans and chimpanzees, with implications for constraints on allele size 总被引:24,自引:6,他引:18
The distributions of allele sizes at eight simple-sequence repeat (SSR) or
microsatellite loci in chimpanzees are found and compared with the
distributions previously obtained from several human populations. At
several loci, the differences in average allele size between chimpanzees
and humans are sufficiently small that there might be a constraint on the
evolution of average allele size. Furthermore, a model that allows for a
bias in the mutation process shows that for some loci a weak bias can
account for the observations. Several alleles at one of the loci (Mfd 59)
were sequenced. Differences between alleles of different lengths were found
to be more complex than previously assumed. An 8-base-pair deletion was
present in the nonvariable region of the chimpanzee locus. This locus
contains a previously unrecognized repeated region, which is imperfect in
humans and perfect in chimpanzees. The apparently greater opportunity for
mutation conferred by the two perfect repeat regions in chimpanzees is
reflected in the higher variance in repeat number at Mfd 59 in chimpanzees
than in humans. These data indicate that interspecific differences in
allele length are not always attributable to simple changes in the number
of repeats.

Two monoclonal antibodies have been produced against chick type V collagen and shown to be highly specific for separate, conformational dependent determinants within this molecule. When used for immunocytochemical tissue localization, these antibodies show that a major site for the in situ deposition of type V is within the extracellular matrices of many dense connective tissues. In these, however, it is largely in a form unavailable to the antibodies, thus requiring a specific “unmasking” treatment to obtain successful immunocytochemical staining. The specificity of these two IgG antibodies was determined by inhibition ELISA, in which only type V and no other known collagen shows inhibition. In ELISA, mixtures of the two antibodies give an additive binding reaction to the collagen, suggesting that each is against a different antigenic determinant. That both antigenic determinants are conformational dependent, being either in, or closely associated with, the collagen helix is demonstrated by the loss of antibody binding to molecules that have been thermally denatured. The temperature at which this occurs, as assayed by inhibition ELISA, is very similar to that at which the collagen helix melts, as determined by optical rotation. This gives strong additional evidence that the antibodies are directed against the collagen. The antibodies were used for indirect immunofluorescence analyses of cryostat sections of corneas and other organs from 17 to 18-day-old chick embryos. Of all tissues examined only Bowman’s membrane gave a strong staining reaction with cryostat sections of unfixed material. Staining in other areas of the cornea and in other tissues was very light or nonexistent. When, however, sections were pretreated with pepsin dissolved in dilute HAc or, surprisingly, with the dilute HAc itself dramatic new staining by the antibodies was observed in most tissues examined. The staining, which was specific for the anti-type V collagen antibodies, was largely confined to extracellular matrices of dense connective tissues. Experiments using protease inhibitors suggested that the “unmasking” did not involve proteolysis. We do not yet know the mechanism of this unmasking; however, one possibility is that the dilute acid causes swelling or conformational changes in a type-V collagen-containing supramolecular structure. Further studies should allow us to determine whether this is the case. 相似文献

The extent to which brain functions are localized or distributed is a foundational question in neuroscience. In the human brain, common fMRI methods such as cluster correction, atlas parcellation, and anatomical searchlight are biased by design toward finding localized representations. Here we introduce the functional searchlight approach as an alternative to anatomical searchlight analysis, the most commonly used exploratory multivariate fMRI technique. Functional searchlight removes any anatomical bias by grouping voxels based only on functional similarity and ignoring anatomical proximity. We report evidence that visual and auditory features from deep neural networks and semantic features from a natural language processing model, as well as object representations, are more widely distributed across the brain than previously acknowledged and that functional searchlight can improve model-based similarity and decoding accuracy. This approach provides a new way to evaluate and constrain computational models with brain activity and pushes our understanding of human brain function further along the spectrum from strict modularity toward distributed representation. 相似文献

Interactions between attention and memory 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Attention and memory cannot operate without each other. In this review, we discuss two lines of recent evidence that support this interdependence. First, memory has a limited capacity, and thus attention determines what will be encoded. Division of attention during encoding prevents the formation of conscious memories, although the role of attention in formation of unconscious memories is more complex. Such memories can be encoded even when there is another concurrent task, but the stimuli that are to be encoded must be selected from among other competing stimuli. Second, memory from past experience guides what should be attended. Brain areas that are important for memory, such as the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe structures, are recruited in attention tasks, and memory directly affects frontal-parietal networks involved in spatial orienting. Thus, exploring the interactions between attention and memory can provide new insights into these fundamental topics of cognitive neuroscience. 相似文献

Two novel gene orders and the role of light-strand replication in rearrangement of the vertebrate mitochondrial genome 总被引:22,自引:8,他引:14

Two novel mitochondrial gene arrangements are identified in an agamid
lizard and a ranid frog. Statistical tests incorporating phylogeny indicate
a link between novel vertebrate mitochondrial gene orders and movement of
the origin of light-strand replication. A mechanism involving errors in
light-strand replication and tandem duplication of genes is proposed for
rearrangement of vertebrate mitochondrial genes. A second mechanism
involving small direct repeats also is identified. These mechanisms
implicate gene order as a reliable phylogenetic character. Shifts in gene
order define major lineages without evidence of parallelism or reversal.
The loss of the origin of light-strand replication from its typical
vertebrate position evolves in parallel and, therefore, is a less reliable
phylogenetic character. Gene junctions also evolve in parallel. Sequencing
across multigenic regions, in particular transfer RNA genes, should be a
major focus of future systematic studies to locate novel gene orders and to
provide a better understanding of the evolution of the vertebrate
mitochondrial genome.
