본 연구의 목적은 학습상황에서 피드백으로 주어지는 금전적 획득/손실(학습 피드백)과 비학습적 상황에서 우연히 제시되는 의사 피드백(무선 피드백)을 비교하는 방법을 사용하여, 금전적 보상과 처벌의 학습 피드백으로서만 가지는 정보처리에 어느 두뇌 영역이 관여하는지를 규명하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 정상 성인(n = 22)을 대상으로 fMRI scan 동안 단서 자극에 대한 범주 버튼 반응(좌/우)의 정확 여부에 따라 피드백이 제시되는 시행(학습시행)과 단서 자극의 위치판단 반응과 무관하게 피드백이 제시되는 시행(무선시행)을 사건 관련 fMRI 방략으로 제시하였다. 두 시행 간 보상과 처벌과 같은 동기적 사건에 대한 두뇌 반응이 변별적으로 나타나는지를 알아보기 위해 시행 유형(학습 vs. 무선)과 피드백 유형(보상 vs, 처벌)을 두 독립변인으로 한 반복측정 이원분산분석을 하였다(voxel-wise FWE p < .001). 그 결과, 좌측 배외측 전두피질(dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), 좌측 전측 도(anterior insular), 배내측 전두피질(dorsomedial prefrontal cortex) 등의 영역에서 유의한 상호작용 효과가 관찰되었는데, 이들 영역은 모두 학습-보상 피드백 및 무선-처벌 피드백보다 학습-처벌 피드백에 대해 증가한 두뇌 활성을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 학습상황에서 주어지는 처벌 피드백에 대한 기존 전략의 변경이나 재평가를 위한 집행적 처리, 적절하지 못하거나 틀린 행동에 대한 오류처리 과정 그리고 실패 경험에 대한 부정적 정서처리가 위에서 언급한 피질신경망을 중심으로 이루어질 가능성을 보여준다. 따라서 학습의 처벌 피드백은 보상과 달리 위와 같은 추가적 정보처리 과정이 존재할 가능성을 시사한다.

Objective: In order to investigate the functional brain anatomy associated with verbal and visual working memory, functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed. Materials and Methods: In ten normal right handed subjects, functional MR images were obtained using a 1.5-T MR scanner and the EPI BOLD technique. An item recognition task was used for stimulation, and during the activation period of the verbal working memory task, consonant letters were used. During the activation period of the visual working memory task, symbols or diagrams were employed instead of letters. For the post-processing of images, the SPM program was used, with the threshold of significance set at p < .001. We assessed activated brain areas during the two stimulation tasks and compared the activated regions between the two tasks. Results: The prefrontal cortex and secondary visual cortex were activated bilaterally by both verbal and visual working memory tasks, and the patterns of activated signals were similar in both tasks. The superior parietal cortex was also activated by both tasks, with lateralization to the left in the verbal task, and bilaterally without lateralization in the visual task. The inferior frontal cortex, inferior parietal cortex and temporal gyrus were activated exclusively by the verbal working memory task, predominantly in the left hemisphere. Conclusion: The prefrontal cortex is activated by two stimulation tasks, and this is related to the function of the central executive. The language areas activated by the verbal working memory task may be a function of the phonological loop. Bilateral prefrontal and superior parietal cortices activated by the visual working memory task may be related to the visual maintenance of objects, representing visual working memory.

This experimental study measures the emotional and physiological responses of customers as to cafe facade design. It is done through eye-tracking and EEG response experiments. Specifically, their visual concentration and EEG concentration are analyzed in line with their facade preferences. The findings are as follows. First, the correlation between their facade preferences and visual concentration on facades is as follows: Highly preferable facades have a lower visual concentration frequency than the less preferable facades. Second, an analysis of $12{\times}12$ lattice division of facades shows that all facades have a high visual concentration for signs. The exceptions are F(6), F(7), F(8), and F(10). There is no correlation between the facade preferences and visual concentration behaviors for particular facade elements. Third, an analysis of prefrontal lobe's facade concentration shows that there is no correlation between the preferences and EEG concentration. However, there are big differences in the prefrontal lobe activity of 12 subjects depending on the facade. In particular, nine of them (3, 9, 13, 14, 15, 28, 36, 38, 43) show an activated prefrontal lobe as to the highly preferable facades-F(1), F(2), F(3), and F(4). However, such activation is not detected on the less preferable facades-F(9), F(10), F(11), and F(12).

Purpose : The object of this study was to examine the effect of motor learning on brain activation depending on the method of motor learning. Methods : The brain activation was measured in 9 men by fMRI. The subjects were divided into the following groups depending on the method of motor learning: actually practice (AP, n=3) group, action observation (AO, n=3) group and motor imagery (MI, n=3) group. In order to examine the effect of motor learning depending on the method of motor learning, the brain activation data were measured during learning. For the investigation of brain activation, fMRI was conducted. Results : The results of brain activation measured before and during learning were as follows; (1) During learning, the AP group showed the activation in the following areas: primary motor area located in precentral gyrus, somatosensory area located in postcentral gyrus, supplemental motor area and prefrontal association area located in precentral gyrus, middle frontal gyrus and superior frontal gyrus, speech area located in superior temporal gyrus and middle temporal gyrus, Broca's area located in inferior parietal lobe and somatosensory association area of precuneus; (2) During learning, the AD groups showed the activation in the following areas: primary motor area located in precentral gyrus, prefrontal association area located in middle frontal gyrus and superior frontal gyrus, speech area and supplemental motor area located in superior temporal gyrus and middle temporal gyrus, Broca's area located in inferior parietal lobe, somatosensory area and primary motor area located in precentral gyrus of right cerebrum and left cerebrum, and somatosensory association area located in precuneus; and (3) During learning, the MI group showed activation in the following areas: speech area located in superior temporal gyrus, supplemental area, and somatosensory association area located in precuneus. Conclusion : Given the results above, in this study, the action observation was suggested as an alternative to motor learning through actual practice in serial reaction time task of motor learning. It showed the similar results to the actual practice in brain activation which were obtained using activation of mirror neuron. This result suggests that the brain activation occurred by the activation of mirror neuron, which was observed during action observation. The mirror neurons are located in primary motor area, somatosensory area, premotor area, supplemental motor area and somatosensory association area. In sum, when we plan a training program through physiotherapy to increase the effect during reeducation of movement, the action observation as well as best resting is necessary in increasing the effect of motor learning with the patients who cannot be engaged in actual practice.

We report the reorganization of motor network resulted from intensive unilateral coordination training and the effect of cross education on the untrained side in patient with traumatic brain injury using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A 22 year-old male patient who had suffered from diffuse axonal injury for 58 months showed coordination deficit in the left hand at initial examination. Intensive motor training including complex finger movements and coordination activities using a metronome was introduced to the patient 4 hours per day for a week. FMRI was performed on a 3T ISOL Forte scanner. All functional images were analyzed using SPM-99 software. Hand function was improved after training not only in the trained left hand, but also in the untrained right hand. There was no activation in the right primary motor area (M1) during left hand movement before training whereas robust activation of left M1 was demonstrated by the right hand movement. Profuse activation of bilateral prefrontal lobes was seen during both hand movements before training. After training of left hand, right M1 became prominently activated during the left hand motion. The activation of bilateral prefrontal lobes disappeared after training not only for the left hand movement but also for the right, which clearly demonstrated the effect of cross education. This case report demonstrated the learning-dependent reorganization of the M1 and the effect of cross education.

본 연구에서는 긍정 또는 부정 시각자극이 제시되었을 때, 행동활성화체계(Behavioral Activation System : BAS) 민감 집단과 행동억제 체계(Behavioral Inhibition System : BIS) 민감 집단 사이에 차이가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 실험은 8명씩의 BAS와 BIS 민감 성향을 가진 남자 대학생을 대상으로 이루어졌고, 안정 상태와 국제정서사진체계(International Affective Picture System)의 긍정/부정 사진자극이 제시되는 동안의 뇌파를 측정하였다. 뇌파의 분석은 뇌 신호원 국소화를 위해, 뇌파의 전기적 신호에 의하여 형성되는 전류밀도에 대한 3차원적인 접근방식으로 데이터를 처리하는 방법 중의 하나인 LORETA(Low-resolution electromagnetic tomography)를 사용하였다. 그 결과, 긍정자극제시의 경우, BAS 민감 집단이 BIS민감 집단에 비해 알파 대역에서 변연계에 포함되는 cingulate gyrus와 전전두엽이 더 활성화되는 반응을 보였다. 이는 BAS 민감집단이 BIS 민감집단에 비해 긍정자극에 대한 반응이 더 민감하고, BAS 또는 BIS라는 인간의 동기체계가 감성자극의 인지와도 관련이 있을 가능성을 시사한다.

학습행동에서의 뇌파 측정은 실시간으로 두뇌 기능 상태를 연구하는데 유용한 연구 방법이며, 대뇌의 부위 중 전전두엽은 새로움에 대한 지향반응과 사고 활동에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 중학교 2학년 학생 20명에게 새로운 시청각 학습자료를 제시하고 4회의 반복학습이 이루어지는 과정에서 전전두부$(Fp_{1},\;Fp_{2})$의 뇌파를 측정하고 고속푸리에 변환(FFT)을 하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 새로운 내용의 첫번째 시청각 학습으로 기준상태에서보다 뇌신경의 속파 리듬인 $\beta_{2}$파(20-30Hz)와 $\beta_{1}$파(13-20Hz)의 활성은 증가하였으며, 서파 리듬인 $\theta$파(4-7Hz)와 $\alpha$ 파(8-13Hz)의 활성은 감소하였다. 2) $\beta_{2}$파와 $\beta_{1}$파의 활성은 1회의 반복학습 이후에 점차로 감소하였으며, $\beta_{2}$파가 $\beta_{1}$파보다 반복학습에 따른 활성도의 변화가 크게 이루어졌다. 3) 반복적인 시청각 학습이 이루어짐에 따라 $\alpha$ 파의 활성도는 기준상태에서보다 낮은 상태에서 완만하게 감소하였으며 $\theta$파의 활성은 2회의 반복학습 후에 감소하였다. 4) $\beta$와 $\theta$파의 활성이 함께 높은 2차 시청각 학습(1회 반복학습)에서 높은 학업 성취도의 향상을 보였다. 5) 처음 시청각 학습이 이루어질 때에는 전전두엽의 우뇌$(Fp_{2})$가 좌뇌$(Fp_{1})$보다 우세한 기능을 보였지만 반복적인 시청각 학습에서는 좌 우 뇌의 우세성이 구별되지 않았다. 따라서 교과학습과 관련된 인간의 정신행동에 있어서 뇌신경 반응의 습관화 현상이 나타나며, 학습 경험에 의해 두뇌 반구의 우세성이 변화할 수도 있음을 제시한다. 또한 시청각 학습에 있어서 두뇌 기능의 효율적 활용을 통한 학업 성취도 향상을 위해서는 l회의 반복 학습이 적합하다고 할 수 있다.

Previous studies have shown disrupted synaptic plasticity and neural activity in depression. Such alteration is strongly associated with disrupted synaptic structures. Chronic stress has been known to induce changes in dendritic structure in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), but antidepressant effect on structure of these brain areas has been unclear. Here, the effects of imipramine on dendritic spine density and morphology in BLA and mPFC subregions of stressed mice were examined. Chronic restraint stress caused depressive-like behaviors such as enhanced social avoidance and despair level coincident with differential changes in dendritic spine structure. Chronic stress enhanced dendritic spine density in the lateral nucleus of BLA with no significant change in the basal nucleus of BLA, and altered the proportion of stubby or mushroom spines in both subregions. Conversely, in the apical and basal mPFC, chronic stress caused a significant reduction in spine density. The proportion of stubby or mushroom spines in these subregions overall reduced while the proportion of thin spines increased after repeated stress. Interestingly, most of these structural alterations by chronic stress were reversed by imipramine. In addition, structural changes caused by stress and blocking the changes by imipramine were corelated well with altered activation and expression of synaptic plasticity-promoting molecules such as phospho-CREB, phospho-CAMKII, and PSD-95. Collectively, our data suggest that imipramine modulates stress-induced changes in synaptic structure and synaptic plasticity-promoting molecules in a coordinated manner although structural and molecular alterations induced by stress are distinct in the BLA and mPFC.

Functional MRI technique was used in this study for examining the language switching mechanisms between the first language (L1) and the second language (L2). Language switching mechanism is regarded as a complex task that involves an interaction between L1 and L2. The aim of study is to find out the brain activation patterns during the phonological process of reading real English words and English words written in Korean characters in a bilingual person. Korean-English bilingual subjects were examined while they covertly read four types of words native Korean words, Korean words of a foreign origin, English words written in Korean characters, and English words. The fMRI results reveal that the left hemispheric language-related regions at the brain, such as the left inferior frontal, superior temporal, and parietal cortices, have a greater response to the presentation of English words written in Korean characters than for the other types of words, in addition, a slight difference was observed in the occipital-temporal lobe. These results suggest that a change in the brain circuitry underlying the relational processes of language switching is mainly associated with general executive processing system in the left prefrontal cortex rather than with a similarity-based processing system in the occipital-temporal lobes.
