Different neuromodulators rarely act independent from each other to modify neural processes but are instead coreleased, gated, or modulated. To understand this interdependence of neuromodulators and their collective influence on local circuits during different brain states, it is necessary to reliably extract local concentrations of multiple neuromodulators in vivo. Here we describe results using solid-phase microextraction (SPME), a method providing sensitive, multineuromodulator measurements. SPME is a sampling method that is coupled with mass spectrometry to quantify collected analytes. Reliable measurements of glutamate, dopamine, acetylcholine, and choline were made simultaneously within frontal cortex and striatum of two macaque monkeys (Macaca mulatta) during goal-directed behavior. We find glutamate concentrations several orders of magnitude higher than acetylcholine and dopamine in all brain regions. Dopamine was reliably detected in the striatum at tenfold higher concentrations than acetylcholine. Acetylcholine and choline concentrations were detected with high consistency across brain areas within monkeys and between monkeys. These findings illustrate that SPME microprobes provide a versatile novel tool to characterize multiple neuromodulators across different brain areas in vivo to understand the interdependence and covariation of neuromodulators during goal-directed behavior. Such data would be important to better distinguish between different behavioral states and characterize dysfunctional brain states that may be evident in psychiatric disorders.

Complementary spatial and timing control in rhythmic arm movements Nickl, Robert W.; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Cowan, Noah J. (American Physiological Society, 2019-04-01) Volitional rhythmic motor behaviors such as limb cycling and locomotion exhibit spatial and timing regularity. Such rhythmic movements are executed in the presence of exogenous visual and nonvisual cues, and previous studies have shown the pivotal role that vision plays in guiding spatial and temporal regulation. However, the influence of nonvisual information conveyed through auditory or touch sensory pathways, and its effect on control, remains poorly understood. To characterize the function of nonvisual ...
Local image structures and optic flow estimation Kalkan, Sinan; Worgotter, F.; Lappe, M.; Kruger, N. (Informa UK Limited, 2005-12-01) Different kinds of local image structures (such as homogeneous, edge-like and junction-like patches) can be distinguished by the intrinsic dimensionality of the local signals. Intrinsic dimensionality makes use of variance from a point and a line in spectral representation of the signal in order to classify it as homogeneous, edge-like or junction-like. The concept of intrinsic dimensionality has been mostly exercised using discrete formulations; however, recent work (Felsberg & Kriger 2003; Kruger & Felsbe...
Redundant tasks in multitasking control of discrete event systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (null; 2009-12-01) This paper addresses the control of multitasking DES that allow for dealing with liveness properties in the case where multiple classes of tasks have to be independently completed by the system. Colored marking generators (CMG) have been previously introduced as a model to consider multitasking control. The computational cost of the supervisor synthesis for multitasking DES grows with the number of classes of tasks. In this paper we investigate conditions under which removing tasks of the DES model does not...
Design and implementation of a distributed workflow enactment service Gokkoca, E; Altinel, M; Cingil, I; Tatbul, EN; Koksal, P; Doğaç, Asuman (1997-06-27) Workflows are activities involving the coordinated execution of multiple tasks performed by different processing entities, mostly in distributed heterogeneous environments which are very common in enterprises of even moderate complexity. In current commercial workflow systems, the workflow scheduler is a single centralized component. A distributed workflow enactment service on the other hand should contain several schedulers on different nodes of a network each executing parts of process instances. Such an ...
Multi-Resident human behaviour identification in ambient assisted living environments Alemdar, Hande (2014-11-12) Multimodal interactions in ambient assisted living environments require human behaviour to be recognized and monitored automatically. The complex nature of human behaviour makes it extremely difficult to infer and adapt to, especially in multi-resident environments. This proposed research aims to contribute to the multimodal interaction community by (i) providing publicly available, naturalistic, rich and annotated datasets for human behaviour modeling, (ii) introducing evaluation methods of several inferen...
