[HTML][HTML] Visual attention: The past 25 years

M Carrasco - Vision research, 2011 - Elsevier
This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention

Distinct descending motor cortex pathways and their roles in movement

MN Economo, S Viswanathan, B Tasic, E Bas… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com

preparatory activity has been observed across cortical layers, including in descending …

Alpha and gamma oscillations characterize feedback and feedforward processing in monkey visual cortex

T Van Kerkoerle, MW Self, B Dagnino… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Cognitive functions rely on the coordinated activity of neurons in many brain regions, but the
interactions between cortical areas are not yet well understood. Here we investigated …

A platform for brain-wide imaging and reconstruction of individual neurons

MN Economo, NG Clack, LD Lavis, CR Gerfen… - elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org

The variable discharge of cortical neurons: implications for connectivity, computation, and information coding

MN Shadlen, WT Newsome - Journal of neuroscience, 1998 - Soc Neuroscience
Cortical neurons exhibit tremendous variability in the number and temporal distribution of
spikes in their discharge patterns. Furthermore, this variability appears to be conserved over …
