abstract = {The present study investigated the neuromodulatory
substrates of salience processing and its impact on memory
encoding and behaviour, with a specific focus on two
distinct types of salience: reward and contextual
unexpectedness. 46 Participants performed a novel task
paradigm modulating these two aspects independently and
allowing for investigating their distinct and interactive
effects on memory encoding while undergoing high-resolution
fMRI. By using advanced image processing techniques tailored
to examine midbrain and brainstem nuclei with high
precision, our study additionally aimed to elucidate
differential activation patterns in subcortical nuclei in
response to reward-associated and contextually unexpected
stimuli, including distinct pathways involving in particular
dopaminergic modulation. We observed a differential
involvement of the ventral striatum, substantia nigra (SN)
and caudate nucleus, as well as a functional specialisation
within the subregions of the cingulate cortex for the two
salience types. Moreover, distinct subregions within the SN
in processing salience could be identified. Dorsal areas
preferentially processed salience related to stimulus
processing (of both reward and contextual unexpectedness),
and ventral areas were involved in salience-related memory
encoding (for contextual unexpectedness only). These
functional specialisations within SN are in line with
different projection patterns of dorsal and ventral SN to
brain areas supporting attention and memory, respectively.
By disentangling stimulus processing and memory encoding
related to two salience types, we hope to further
consolidate our understanding of neuromodulatory structures'
differential as well as interactive roles in modulating
behavioural responses to salient events.},
