Top-down control of visual attention

B Noudoost, MH Chang, NA Steinmetz… - Current opinion in …, 2010 - Elsevier
Top-down visual attention improves perception of selected stimuli and that improvement is
reflected in the neural activity at many stages throughout the visual system. Recent studies …

Fast and slow oscillations in human primary motor cortex predict oncoming behaviorally relevant cues

M Saleh, J Reimer, R Penn, CL Ojakangas… - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Summary Beta oscillations (12–30 Hz) in local field potentials are prevalent in the motor
system, yet their functional role within the context of planning a movement is still debated. In …

Attention reduces stimulus-driven gamma frequency oscillations and spike field coherence in V1

M Chalk, JL Herrero, MA Gieselmann, LS Delicato… - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Rhythmic activity of neuronal ensembles has been proposed to play an important role in
cognitive functions such as attention, perception, and memory. Here we investigate whether …

Surround suppression sharpens the priority map in the lateral intraparietal area

AL Falkner, BS Krishna, ME Goldberg - Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
In the visual world, stimuli compete with each other for allocation of the brain's limited
processing resources. Computational models routinely invoke wide-ranging mutually …

Attentional modulation of MT neurons with single or multiple stimuli in their receptive fields

J Lee, JHR Maunsell - Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Descriptions of how attention modulates neuronal responses suggest that the strength of its
effects depends on stimulus conditions. Attention to an isolated stimulus in the receptive field …
