Basal ganglia circuits are known to have role in a wide range of behaviour spanning from movement initiation to high order cognitive processes as reward related learning. Here, the intention is to have a biophysically realistic model of basal ganglia circuit for voluntary motor action selection. The ultimate aim is to provide a framework for models which could help comprehension of complex processes. To fulfill this aim a model capable of simulating direct, indirect and hyperdirect pathways with modified Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model is proposed. This model considers more neural structures than the works similar in the literature and can simulate activity of neurons in the neural structures taking part in action selection. The model proposed is shown to be versatile as the simulation results obtained are similar to the neuron activity recordings of the considered neural structures published previously. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

© 2015 IEEE.Due to the investigations carried out in neuroscience, it has been clear that basal ganglia circuits are not active only in motor actions but also take part in cognitive processes. With recent studies on processes as decision making and behavioral deficits as addiction, the role of basal ganglia in these processes has been revealed without suspicion. The activity in direct and indirect pathways, two of the three most mentioned pathways of basal ganglia, is known to be modified by neurotransmitte...

© 2015 IEEE.It is expected that building computational models of neural structures taking part in generating cognitive processes and emotions would not only help us understanding the brain but also give us clues to diagnose and develop treatment for neurological disorders and diseases. In this work, a computational model of cognitive task, goal directed behavior is considered. The cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus loop which is known to be effective in goal directed behavior has been modeled. In the model, the ...
A computational model to investigate the effect of dopamine on neural synchronization in striatum
Elibol, Rahmi; Şengör, Neslihan Serap (2015-09-28)
© 2015 IEEE.Synchronous behavior of neural populations has been related to cognitive processes as attention, learning and has been considered as hallmarks of neurological disorders. The computational models of neural structures, even the simple ones, could give informative results which can improve our understanding of cognitive processes, arising due to collective activity of neurons. Here, a neurocomputational model for investigating the role of dopamine level on the synchronized behavior of medium spiny ...
A new outlier detection method based on convex optimization: application to diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
TAYLAN, PAKİZE; Yerlikaya-Ozkurt, Fatma; Bilgic Ucak, Burcu; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2020-12-01)
Neuroscience is a combination of different scientific disciplines which investigate the nervous system for understanding of the biological basis. Recently, applications to the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease have become very promising by considering different statistical regression models. However, well-known statistical regression models may give misleading results for the diagnosis of the neurodegenerative diseases when experimental data contain outlier observations that l...
A Dual eye tracking study of the influence of color and gaze cues on the use of referring expressions in a situated Farsi dialogue environment
Razzaghi Asl, Sara; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015)
The aim of this study is to explore the structure of Farsi referring expressions (RE) used during a collaborative Tangram puzzle solving activity, and investigate the role of different visual cue conditions on the types of RE and the degree of gaze coordination. A jigsaw task design was used which required participants to work as a team to solve Tangram puzzles in three conditions where (a) all pieces had the same color (normal condition), (b) all pieces were assigned a distinct color (color condition), and...
