Recent research led by Harvard Medical School has shed light on the neurological basis of daydreaming. The study, conducted on mice, found that neurons in the visual cortex fire in patterns similar to those seen when viewing images, indicating daydreaming. These patterns, especially evident in early daydreams, were found to predict future brain responses to visual stimuli, suggesting a role for daydreams in brain plasticity. The research also highlights the importance of daydreams in learning and memory processes, both in mice and potentially in humans. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Observations in mice hint at role of daydreams in remodeling the brain. During quiet waking, brain activity in mice suggests the animals are daydreaming about a recent image. Having daydreams about a recently viewed image predicted how the brain would respond to the image in the future. The findings provide a clue that daydreams may play a role in brain plasticity. Understanding the Brain During Daydreams You are sitting quietly, and suddenly your brain tunes out the world and wanders to something else entirely — perhaps a recent experience, or an old memory. You just had a daydream. Yet despite the ubiquity of this experience, what is happening in the brain while daydreaming is a question that has largely eluded neuroscientists. Now, a study in mice, published on December 13 in Nature, has brought a team led by researchers at Harvard Medical School one step closer to figuring it out. The researchers tracked the activity of neurons in the visual cortex of the brains of mice while the animals remained in a quiet waking state. They found that occasionally these neurons fired in a pattern similar to one that occurred when a mouse looked at an actual image, suggesting that the mouse was thinking — or daydreaming — about the image. Moreover, the patterns of activity during a mouse’s first few daydreams of the day predicted how the brain’s response to the image would change over time. The research provides tantalizing, if preliminary, evidence that daydreams can shape the brain’s future response to what it sees. This causal relationship needs to be confirmed in further research, the team cautioned, but the results offer an intriguing clue that daydreams during quiet waking may play a role in brain plasticity — the brain’s ability to remodel itself in response to new experiences. Exploring Daydreams and Brain Plasticity “We wanted to know how this daydreaming process occurred on a neurobiological level, and whether these moments of quiet reflection could be important for learning and memory,” said lead author Nghia Nguyen, a PhD student in neurobiology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS. Scientists have spent considerable time studying how neurons replay past events to form memories and map the physical environment in the hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped brain region that plays a key role in memory and spatial navigation. A Focus on the Visual Cortex By contrast, there has been little research on the replay of neurons in other brain regions, including the visual cortex. Such efforts would provide valuable insights about how visual memories are formed. “My lab became interested in whether we could record from enough neurons in the visual cortex to understand what exactly the mouse is remembering — and then connect that information to brain plasticity,” said senior author Mark Andermann, professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and professor of neurobiology at HMS. During the experiments, mice repeatedly looked at one of two images, shown here, with one-minute breaks in between. The images were selected based on their ability to elicit a strong response from neurons in the visual cortex. Credit: Andermann lab In the new study, the researchers repeatedly showed mice one of two images, each consisting of a different checkerboard pattern of gray and dappled black and white squares. Between images, the mice spent a minute looking at a gray screen. The team simultaneously recorded activity from around 7,000 neurons in the visual cortex. The researchers found that when a mouse looked at an image, the neurons fired in a specific pattern, and the patterns were different enough to discern image one from image two. More important, when a mouse looked at the gray screen between images, the neurons sometimes fired in a similar, but not identical, pattern, as when the mouse looked at the image, a sign that it was daydreaming about the image. These daydreams occurred only when mice were relaxed, characterized by calm behavior and small pupils. Unsurprisingly, mice daydreamed more about the most recent image — and they had more daydreams at the beginning of the day than at the end, when they had already seen each image dozens of times. But what the researchers found next was completely unexpected. Between images, mice spent a minute looking at a gray screen. During this time, neurons in the visual cortex of the brain, shown here, occasionally fired in a pattern similar to one seen when the mice were looking at an image, suggesting that mice were daydreaming about the image. Credit: Andermann lab Throughout the day, and across days, the activity patterns seen when the mice looked at the images changed — what neuroscientists call “representational drift.” Yet this drift wasn’t random. Over time, the patterns associated with the images became even more different from each other, until each involved an almost entirely separate set of neurons. Notably, the pattern seen during a mouse’s first few daydreams about an image predicted what the pattern would become when the mouse looked at the image later. “There’s drift in how the brain responds to the same image over time, and these early daydreams can predict where the drift is going,” Andermann said. Finally, the researchers found that the visual cortex daydreams occurred at the same time as replay activity occurred in the hippocampus, suggesting that the two brain regions were communicating during these daydreams. To Sit, Perchance To Daydream Based on the results of the study, the researchers suspect that these daydreams may be actively involved in brain plasticity. “When you see two different images many times, it becomes important to discriminate between them. Our findings suggest that daydreaming may guide this process by steering the neural patterns associated with the two images away from each other,” Nguyen said, while noting that this relationship needs to be confirmed. Nguyen added that learning to differentiate between the images should help the mouse respond to each image with more specificity in the future. These observations align with a growing body of evidence in rodents and humans that entering a state of quiet wakefulness after an experience can improve learning and memory. Next, the researchers plan to use their imaging tools to visualize the connections between individual neurons in the visual cortex and to examine how these connections change when the brain “sees” an image. “We were chasing this 99 percent of unexplored brain activity and discovered that there’s so much richness in the visual cortex that nobody knew anything about,” Andermann said. Whether daydreams in people involve similar activity patterns in the visual cortex is an open question, and the answer will require additional experiments. However, there is preliminary evidence that an analogous process occurs in humans when they recall visual imagery. Randy Buckner, the Sosland Family Professor of Psychology and of Neuroscience at Harvard University, has shown that brain activity in the visual cortex increases when people are asked to recall an image in detail. Other studies have recorded flurries of electrical activity in the visual cortex and the hippocampus during such recall. For the researchers, the results of their study and others suggest that it may be important to make space for moments of quiet waking that lead to daydreams. For a mouse, this may mean taking a pause from looking at a series of images and, for a human, this could mean taking a break from scrolling on a smartphone. “We feel pretty confident that if you never give yourself any awake downtime, you’re not going to have as many of these daydream events, which may be important for brain plasticity,” Andermann said.

Noise and light pollution can change which birds visit our backyards. A new study reports that birds across the continental U.S. tend to avoid backyard feeders in louder areas. When light and noise pollution were both present, even more species stayed away. The study, published in Global Change Biology, used data from the community science program Program FeederWatch. The research team analyzed more than 3.4 million observations of 140 different bird species across the continental U.S. “Broadly speaking, we are just starting to dive into the consequences of light and noise for animals,” said Ashley Wilson, a graduate student at California Polytechnic State University who led the study. “Most studies focus on a single species’ responses to noise or light pollution. As such, our study involving 140 species provides the most comprehensive assessment of how noise and light influence which birds we see in our backyards and neighborhoods.” American goldfinches are among the birds that avoid backyard bird feeders in noisy areas. Common bird species such as American goldfinches, cedar waxwings, and white-breasted nuthatches all avoided areas with excessive noise. In areas where light and noise pollution both occurred, many additional species avoided backyard feeders. While certain species may be able to cope with one pollutant, the addition of a second might overwhelm their coping abilities. “These responses would have been overlooked completely if we only focused on the influence of light or noise individually rather than considering the total exposure to both sensory pollutants,” Wilson said. “Our overall influence on sensitive species could be more widespread than we originally thought.” Researchers also found that noise and light pollution affect birds differently across distinct environments. For example, birds that live in forests tend to be more sensitive to noise and light than those that live in grasslands. Seasonal patterns and variation in the length of night also influenced how species respond to light pollution. For example, during longer nights nearly 50 species increased in abundance with light pollution. Cedar waxwings are among the birds that avoid backyard bird feeders in noisy areas. Credit: Dave Keeling “That many species are more abundant in lit areas when nights are longer could be because winter nights present challenging conditions, especially farther North where temperatures drop below freezing and birds use a lot of energy to stay warm and survive,” said Cal Poly biology professor and senior author Clint Francis. “It is possible that light at night provides the opportunity to stay active and continue eating into the nighttime hours. Still, exposure to light could create problems that we could not measure in this study, like altered sleep patterns and increased stress.” Globally, light and noise are continuing to spread each year. These pollutants not only impact urban areas but also are starting to leak into protected natural areas. “If birds cannot tolerate the increased intensity and presence of these pollutants, then we may end up seeing fewer species in brightly lit and loud places, even in protected areas” said Wilson. Further research is needed to learn how to manage these pollutants, added Wilson. How species respond to noise and light may also be influenced by a species’ innate ability to detect and comprehend sensory cues. Additionally, studying light and noise together may allow scientists to identify sensory danger zones that have the highest risk of impacting vulnerable and rare species.

UCLA researchers have discovered a new memory mechanism in the brain that reduces energy costs and enhances memory storage, potentially offering new insights into Alzheimer’s and other memory disorders. UCLA Health research identifies a new memory state called spontaneous persistent inactivity. UCLA Health researchers have identified a process that memories while reducing metabolic costs, even during sleep. This efficient memory is found in a brain region essential for learning and memory, which is also where Alzheimer’s disease originates. The discovery is published in the journal Nature Communications. Does this sound familiar: You go to the kitchen to fetch something, but when you get there, you forget what you wanted. This is your working memory failing. Working memory is defined as remembering some information for a short period while you go about doing other things. We use working memory virtually all the time. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients have working memory deficits and it also shows up in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Hence, considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the mechanisms by which the vast networks of neurons in the brain create working memory. The Role of the Entorhinal Cortex During working memory tasks, the outermost layer of the brain, known as the neocortex, sends sensory information to deeper regions of the brain, including a central region called the entorhinal cortex, which is crucial for forming memories. Neurons in the entorhinal cortex show a complex array of responses, which have puzzled scientists for a long time and resulted in the 2014 Nobel Prize in medicine, yet the mechanisms governing this complexity are unknown. The entorhinal cortex is where Alzheimer’s disease begins forming. “It’s therefore critical to understand what kind of magic happens in the cortico-entorhinal network, when the neocortex speaks to the entorhinal cortex which turns it into working memory. It could provide an early diagnostic of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, and mild cognitive impairment,” said corresponding author Mayank Mehta, a neurophysicist and head of the W. M. Keck Center for Neurophysics and the Center for Physics of Life at UCLA. To crack this problem, Mehta and his coauthors devised a novel approach: a “mathematical microscope.” In the world of physics, mathematical models are commonly used, from Kepler to Newton and Einstein, to reveal amazing things we have never seen or even imagined, such as the inner workings of subatomic particles and the inside of a black hole. Mathematical models are used in brain sciences too, but their predictions are not taken as seriously as in physics. The reason is that in physics, predictions of mathematical theories are tested quantitatively, not just qualitatively. Such quantitatively precise experimental tests of mathematical theories are commonly believed to be unfeasible in biology because the brain is vastly more complex than the physical world. Mathematical theories in physics are very simple, involving very few free parameters and hence precise experimental tests. In contrast, the brain has billions of neurons and trillions of connections, a mathematical nightmare, let alone a highly precise microscope. Simplifying Complex Systems “To tackle this seemingly impossible challenge of devising a simple theory that can still explain the experimental data of memory dynamics in vivo data with high precision, we hypothesized that cortico-entorhinal dialog, and memory magic, will occur even when the subjects are sleeping, or anesthetized,” said Dr. Krishna Choudhary, the lead author of the study. “Just like a car behaves like a car when it’s idling or going at 70 mph.” UCLA researchers then made another large assumption: the dynamics of the entire cortex and the entorhinal cortex during sleep or anesthesia can be captured by just two neurons. These assumptions reduced the problem of billions of neurons’ interactions to just two only free variables – the strength of input from the neocortex to the entorhinal cortex and the strength of recurrent connections within the entorhinal cortex. While this makes the problem mathematically tractable, it raises the obvious question – is it true? “If we test our theory quantitatively on data in vivo, then these are just interesting mathematical games, not a solid understanding of memory-making magic,” said Mehta. The crucial experimental tests of this theory required sophisticated experiments by Dr. Thomas Hahn, a coauthor who is now a professor at Basel University and a clinical psychologist. “The entorhinal cortex is a complicated circuit. To really test the theory we needed experimental techniques that can not only measure the neural activity with high precision, but also determine the precise anatomical identity of the neuron,” said Hahn. Hahn and Dr. Sven Berberich, also a coauthor, measured the membrane potential of identified neurons from the entorhinal cortex in vivo, using whole cell patch clamp technique and then used anatomical techniques to identify the neuron. Simultaneously they measured the activity of the parietal cortex, a part of the neocortex that sends inputs to the entorhinal cortex. “A mathematical theory and sophisticated in vivo data are necessary and cool, but we had to tackle one more challenge – how does one map this simple theory onto complex neural data?” said Mehta. “This required a protracted period of development, to generate a ‘mathematical microscope’ that can directly reveal the inner workings of neurons as they make memory,” said Choudhary. “As far as we know, this has not been done before.” Discovering New Memory States The authors observed that like an ocean wave forming and then crashing onto a shoreline, the signals from the neocortex oscillate between on and off states in intervals while a person or animal sleeps. Meanwhile, the entorhinal cortex acted like a swimmer in the water who can move up when the waveforms and then down when it recedes. The data showed this and the model captured this as well. But using this simple match the model then took a life of its own and discovered a new type of memory state known as spontaneous persistent inactivity, said Mehta. “It’s as if a wave comes in and the entorhinal cortex said, ‘There is no wave! I’m going to remember that recently there was no wave so I am going to ignore this current wave and not respond at all’. This is persistent inactivity” Mehta said. “Alternately, persistent activity occurs when the cortical wave disappears but the entorhinal neurons remember that there was a wave very recently, and continue rolling forward.” While many theories of working memory had shown the presence of persistent activity, which the authors found, the persistent inactivity was something that the model predicted and had never been seen before. “The cool part about persistent inactivity is that it takes virtually no energy, unlike persistent activity, which takes a lot of energy”, said Mehta, “even better, the combination of persistent activity and inactivity more than doubles the memory capacity while cutting down the metabolic energy cost by half.” “All this sounded too good to be true, so we really pushed our mathematical microscope to the limit, into a regime where it was not designed to work,” said Dr. Choudhary. “If the microscope was right, it would continue working perfectly even in unusual situations.” “The math-microscope made a dozen predictions, not just about entorhinal but many other brain regions too. To our complete surprise, the mathematical microscope worked every time,” Mehta continued. “Such near perfect match between the predictions of a mathematical theory and experiments is unprecedented in neuroscience. “This mathematical model that is perfectly matched with experiments is a new microscope,” Mehta continued. “It reveals something that no existing microscope could see without it. No matter how many neurons you have imaged, it would not have revealed any of this. “In fact, metabolic shortcomings are a common feature of many memory disorders,” said Mehta. Mehta’s laboratory is now following up on this work to understand how complex working memory is formed, and what goes wrong in the entorhinal cortex during Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory disorders.” Reference: “Spontaneous persistent activity and inactivity in vivo reveals differential cortico-entorhinal functional connectivity” by Krishna Choudhary, Sven Berberich, Thomas T.
