英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
A career development plan is proposed for Dr. Christina Zelano, who is committed to a research career
studying the neural substrates of the human olfactory system. Dr. Jay Gottfried, a renowned scholar in the field
of human olfaction at Northwestern University will function as the primary mentor. Furthermore, Dr. Stephan
Schuele, Directory of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital will contribute to
the proposed research as a collaborator, and Dr. Robert Knight, Director of the Helen Wills Neuroscience
Institute at University of California, Berkeley will contribute as a consultant on the proposed research projects.
Training will involve electrocorticography (ECoG) and electrical stimulation techniques for the measurement of
odorevoked brain activity in patients who are undergoing brain surgery for epilepsy. The overall goal of the
proposed research is to characterize the temporal evolution and frequency composition of olfactory attentional
neural correlates in the human brain. Because olfactory brain structures are located deep within the limbic
temporal and frontal portions of the brain, the electrical signals generated from these regions are severely
attenuated at the scalp, limiting the value of surface EEG in measuring olfactory local field potentials. To
overcome this problem, the proposed research will optimize an olfactory (ECoG) paradigm in which electrical
signals are recorded directly from olfactory brain structures in patients who are undergoing brain surgery for
intractable epilepsy. Using this technique, the precise timing and frequency of olfactory attentional oscillations
will be investigated. Several aspects of olfactory attention will be explored, from basic (statedependent gating
of incoming odor information) to more complex (modality specific) mechanisms. Given the lack of a requisite
precortical thalamic relay in the olfactory system, the proposed research will test the hypothesis that sensory
gating of olfactory information occurs at the level of the olfactory bulb, upstream from olfactory (piriform) cortex.
Olfactory sensory gating will be explored through two separate experiments making use of ECoG and fMRI
techniques. The proposed research will use ECoG approaches to test two specific hypotheses regarding
complex forms of olfactory attention. First, experiments are proposed to determine the spatiotemporal
composition of neural oscillatory responses in relation to modalityspecific olfactory attentional mechanisms.
Second, experiments are proposed to determine the neural origins and spectrotemporal patterns of olfactory
predictive coding mechanisms. Further studies will make use of electrical stimulation techniques to establish
the necessity of identified brain regions in the formation of predictive spectrotemporal odor templates. The
proposed research has applications to a broad range of neurological disorders that present with olfactory
deficits, including Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia.
