Frontal effective connectivity increases with task demands and time on task: a DCM study on electrocorticogram in macaque monkeys <LINK> by @katwegner, in collaboration with @crewilson , E.

Friston, @dimitrispp <LINK>",https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.10021,"In this paper, we provide a computational account of changes in synaptic connectivity within two regions of the fronto-parietal network, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the pre-supplementary motor area, applying Dynamic Causal Models to electrocorticogram recordings from two macaque monkeys performing a problem-solving task that engages working memory, and induces time-on-task effects. We find that forward connections between the two regions increased in strength when task demands were increased, and as the experimental session progressed. Similarities in the effects of task demands and time on task allow us to interpret changes in frontal connectivity in terms of increased effort allocation that compensates cognitive fatigue.
