We review likely neurobiological substrates of cognitions related to fear and anxiety.
Cognitive processes are linked to abnormal early activity reflecting hypervigilance in …

Much is known about the mechanisms by which attention is focused to facilitate perception,
but little is known about what happens to attention after perception of the attended object is …

The limits of human visual short-term memory (VSTM) have been well documented, and
recent neuroscientific studies suggest that VSTM performance is associated with activity in …

As discussed in Chapter 11 of this volume, attention plays a role in the perception of simple
stimuli, serving as a gain control that enhances the speed or accuracy of feedforward visual …

The bottom-up contribution to the allocation of exogenous attention is a saliency map,
whose neural substrate is hard to identify because of possible contamination by top-down …

Thinking about the abstract concept power may automatically activate the spatial up–down
image schema (powerful up; powerless down) and consequently direct spatial attention to …

Oxytocin is known to promote social affiliation. The mechanism by which this occurs is
unknown, but it may involve changes in social information processing. In a placebo …

Thevisual system can use a rich variety of contours to segment visual scenes into distinct
perceptually coherent regions. However, successfully segmenting an image is a …

Converging electrophysiological and brain-imaging results show that sensory processing in
V1 can be modulated by attention. In this study, we tested the prediction that this early …

Recordings of event‐related potentials (ERPs) were combined with structural and functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the timing and localization of stimulus …
