function spm_mtf_demo % Demo routine for inverting local field potential models %========================================================================== % % This demonstrates the inversion of a simple DCM for spectral activity in % a single-source under steady-state assumptions; we use data reported % in: % % Bayesian estimation of synaptic physiology from the spectral responses of % neural masses % Moran, R.J.1, Stephan K.E., Kiebel S.J., Rombach N., O’Connor % W.T., Murphy K.J., Reilly R.B., Friston K.J. % % Abstract % We describe a Bayesian inference scheme for quantifying the active % physiology of neuronal ensembles using local field recordings of synaptic % potentials. This entails the inversion of a generative neural mass model % of steady-state spectral activity. The inversion uses Expectation % Maximization (EM) to furnish the posterior probability of key synaptic % parameters and the marginal likelihood of the model itself. The neural % mass model embeds prior knowledge pertaining to both the anatomical % [synaptic] circuitry and plausible trajectories of neuronal dynamics. % This model comprises a population of excitatory pyramidal cells, under % local interneuron inhibition and driving excitation from layer IV % stellate cells. Under quasi-stationary assumptions, the model can predict % the spectral profile of local field potentials (LFP). This means model % parameters can be optimised given real electrophysiological observations. % The validity of inferences about synaptic parameters is demonstrated % using simulated data and experimental recordings from the medial % prefrontal cortex of control and isolation-reared Wistar rats. % Specifically, we examined the maximum a posteriori estimates of % parameters describing synaptic function in the two groups and tested % predictions derived from concomitant microdialysis measures. The % modelling of the LFP recordings revealed (i) a sensitization of % post-synaptic excitatory responses, particularly marked in pyramidal % cells, in the medial prefrontal cortex of socially isolated rats and (ii) % increased neuronal adaptation. These inferences were consistent with % predictions derived from experimental microdialysis measures of % extracellular glutamate levels. %__________________________________________________________________________ % Copyright (C) 2008 Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging % Karl Friston % $Id: spm_mtf_demo.m 6856 2016-08-10 17:55:05Z karl $ % empirical data - sort and decimate %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- load 'ten_minute_average_control.mat'; model = 'LFP'; y = G_control(:); w = f_Control(:); [w i] = sort(w); y = y(i); for i = 1:64 [d j] = min(abs(w - i)); k(i) = j; end k = k(w(k) > 2 & w(k) < 64); w = w(k); % frequency y = y(k); % power % specify model %========================================================================== % number of regions in coupled map lattice %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- n = 1; % specify network (connections) %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- A{1} = triu(ones(n,n),1); A{2} = sparse(n,n); A{3} = sparse(n,n); B = {}; C = sparse(n,1,1,n,1); % get priors %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- [pE,pC] = spm_dcm_neural_priors(A,B,C,model); % augment with priors on spatial model %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- [pE,pC] = spm_L_priors(n,pE,pC); % augment with priors on endogenous inputs (neuronal) and noise %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- [pE,pC] = spm_ssr_priors(pE,pC); % intial states and equations of motion %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- [x,f] = spm_dcm_x_neural(pE,model); % create LFP model %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.dipfit.type = 'LFP'; M.IS = 'spm_csd_mtf'; M.FS = 'spm_fs_csd'; M.g = 'spm_gx_erp'; M.f = f; M.x = x; M.n = length(x); M.pE = pE; M.pC = pC; M.hE = 8; M.hC = 1/128; M.m = n; M.l = 1; M.Hz = w; % inversion (in frequency space) %========================================================================== % data %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- y = spm_cond_units(y); Y.y = {y}; % invert %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ep = spm_nlsi_GN(M,[],Y); % plot spectral density %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- [G w] = spm_csd_mtf(Ep,M); subplot(2,1,1) plot(w,real(G{1}),w,y,':') xlabel('frequency (Hz)') xlabel('Power') legend({'predicted','observed'}) title('Spectral inversion','FontSize',16) axis square grid on
