Neurochemistry of visual attention
DEL Lockhofen, C Mulert - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Visual attention is the cognitive process that mediates the selection of important information
from the environment. This selection is usually controlled by bottom-up and top-down …

Does the mind wander when the brain takes a break? Local sleep in wakefulness, attentional lapses and mind-wandering
Sleep has been classically described as an all-or-nothing global phenomenon. However,
recent research strongly suggests that this view requires tempering. Invasive and non …

How effective are pharmaceuticals for cognitive enhancement in healthy adults? A series of meta-analyses of cognitive performance during acute administration of …
Modafinil, methyphenidate (MPH) and d-amphetamine (d-amph) are putative cognitive
enhancers. However, efficacy of cognitive enhancement has yet to be fully established. We …

Examining the role of the noradrenergic locus coeruleus for predicting attention and brain maintenance in healthy old age and disease: an MRI structural study for the …
The noradrenergic theory of Cognitive Reserve (Robertson, 2013–2014) postulates that the
upregulation of the locus coeruleus—noradrenergic system (LC–NA) originating in the …

Electrical stimulation of alpha oscillations stabilizes performance on visual attention tasks.
MS Clayton, N Yeung… - Journal of Experimental …, 2019 - psycnet.apa.org
Neural oscillations in the alpha band (7–13 Hz) have long been associated with reductions
in attention. However, recent studies have suggested a more nuanced perspective in which …

Modulating the difficulty of a visual oddball-like task and P3m amplitude
It is often necessary to modulate the difficulty of an experimental task without changing
physical stimulus characteristics that are known to modulate event-related potentials. Here …

Pharmacological manipulations of physiological arousal and sleep-like slow waves modulate sustained attention
Sustained attention describes our ability to keep a constant focus on a given task. This ability
is modulated by our physiological state of arousal. Although lapses of sustained attention …
