The brain is limited in its capacity to process all sensory stimuli present in the physical world
at any point in time and relies instead on the cognitive process of attention to focus neural …

Relating neural activity to behavior requires an understanding of how neural computations
arise from the coordinated dynamics of distributed, recurrently connected neural …

A fundamental challenge in studying the frontal lobe is to parcellate this cortex into" natural"
functional modules despite the absence of topographic maps, which are so helpful in …

Feedback within the oculomotor system improves visual processing at eye movement end
points, also termed a visual grasp. We do not just view the world around us however, we …

Ascending neuromodulatory projections from the locus coeruleus (LC) affect cortical neural
networks via the release of norepinephrine (NE). However, the exact nature of these …

Visual attention is associated with neuronal changes across the brain, and these
widespread signals are generally assumed to underlie a unitary mechanism of attention …

Spatial neglect is a neuropsychological syndrome in which patients fail to perceive and
orient to stimuli located in the space contralateral to the lesioned hemisphere. It is …

Task-evoked trial-by-trial variability is a ubiquitous property of neural responses, yet its
functional role remains largely unclear. Recent work in nonhuman primates shows that the …

The sequence of events leading to an eye movement to a target begins the moment visual
information has reached the brain, well in advance of the eye movement itself. The process …

We recorded muscle activity from an upper limb muscle while human subjects reached
towards peripheral targets. We tested the hypothesis that the transient visual response …
