Top-down attention switches coupling between low-level and high-level areas of human visual cortex

N Al-Aidroos, CP Said… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences

[HTML][HTML] The human endogenous attentional control network includes a ventro-temporal cortical node

I Sani, H Stemmann, B Caron, D Bullock… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com

Cortical reactivations of recent sensory experiences predict bidirectional network changes during learning

AU Sugden, JD Zaremba, LA Sugden, KL McGuire… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Salient experiences are often relived in the mind. Human neuroimaging studies suggest that
such experiences drive activity patterns in visual association cortex that are subsequently …

[HTML][HTML] Selective attention involves a feature-specific sequential release from inhibitory gating

MF Pagnotta, D Pascucci, G Plomp - Neuroimage, 2022 - Elsevier
Selective attention is a fundamental cognitive mechanism that allows our brain to
preferentially process relevant sensory information, while filtering out distracting information …

[HTML][HTML] Neural mechanisms of sustained attention are rhythmic

RF Helfrich, IC Fiebelkorn, SM Szczepanski, JJ Lin… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Classic models of attention suggest that sustained neural firing constitutes a neural correlate
of sustained attention. However, recent evidence indicates that behavioral performance …

Simultaneous multi-area recordings suggest that attention improves performance by reshaping stimulus representations

DA Ruff, MR Cohen - Nature neuroscience, 2019 - nature.com
Visual attention dramatically improves individuals' ability to see and modulates the

Functional fractionation of the stimulus-driven attention network

SW Han, R Marois - Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
A novel, salient event in the environment powerfully captures attention. This stimulus-driven
attentional capture not only includes orienting of attention toward the event, but also an …

A central role for the lateral prefrontal cortex in goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention

CL Asplund, JJ Todd, AP Snyder, R Marois - Nature neuroscience, 2010 - nature.com
Attention is the process that selects which sensory information is preferentially processed
and ultimately reaches our awareness. Attention, however, is not a unitary process; it can be …
