Saccade planning may invoke spatially-specific feedback signals that bias early visual
activity in favor of top-down goals. We tested this hypothesis by measuring cortical activity at …

Direct access to motor cortical information now enables tetraplegic patients to precisely
control neuroprostheses and recover some autonomy. In contrast, explicit access to higher …

Working memory (WM) is the ability to maintain and manipulate information 'in mind'. The
neural codes underlying WM have been a matter of debate. We simultaneously recorded the …

Primates use perceptual and mnemonic visuospatial representations to perform everyday
functions. Neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) have been shown to encode both …

Despite an ever growing knowledge on how parietal and prefrontal neurons encode low-
level spatial and color information or higher-level information, such as spatial attention, an …

In everyday life, we are continuously struggling at focusing on our current goals while at the
same time avoiding distractions. Attention is the neuro-cognitive process devoted to the …

The normalization model of attention proposes that attention can affect performance by
response-or contrast-gain changes, depending on the size of the stimulus and attention …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is crucial for maintaining relevant information in working memory
and resisting interference. PFC neurons are strongly regulated by dopamine, but it is …

It has been argued that cognitive processes such as attention and memory are influenced by
motivational salience (high or low predictability of an outcome) rather than valance or value …

Reciprocal connections between primate dorsolateral prefrontal (DLPFC) and posterior
parietal (PPC) cortices, furnished by subsets of layer 3 pyramidal neurons (PNs), contribute …
