Long-range attention networks: circuit motifs underlying endogenously controlled stimulus selection

T Womelsdorf, S Everling - Trends in Neurosciences, 2015 - cell.com
Attention networks comprise brain areas whose coordinated activity implements stimulus
selection. This selection is reflected in spatially referenced priority maps across frontal …

Visuomotor functions in the frontal lobe

JD Schall - Annual Review of Vision Science, 2015 - annualreviews.org
This review surveys how vision becomes action through the frontal lobe. Signals from
extrastriate areas create maps in frontal areas. These maps are shaped by visual features …

Rapid compensatory plasticity revealed by dynamic correlated activity in monkeys in vivo

AR Andrei, AE Akil, N Kharas, R Rosenbaum… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
To produce adaptive behavior, neural networks must balance between plasticity and
stability. Computational work has demonstrated that network stability requires plasticity …

Noradrenergic alpha-2a receptor stimulation enhances prediction error signaling and updating of attention sets in anterior cingulate cortex and striatum

SA Hassani, P Tiesinga, T Womelsdorf - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
The noradrenergic system is believed to support behavioral flexibility. A possible source
mediating improved flexibility are α2A adrenoceptors (α2AR) in prefrontal cortex (PFC) or …

Theta–gamma coordination between anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortex indexes correct attention shifts

B Voloh, TA Valiante, S Everling… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Anterior cingulate and lateral prefrontal cortex (ACC/PFC) are believed to coordinate activity
to flexibly prioritize the processing of goal-relevant over irrelevant information. This between …

Extracellular spike waveform dissociates four functionally distinct cell classes in primate cortex

C Trainito, C von Nicolai, EK Miller, M Siegel - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Understanding the function of different neuronal cell types is key to understanding brain
function. However, cell-type diversity is typically overlooked in electrophysiological studies …

Compulsive alcohol drinking in rodents is associated with altered representations of behavioral control and seeking in dorsal medial prefrontal cortex

NM Timme, B Ma, D Linsenbardt, E Cornwell… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
A key feature of compulsive alcohol drinking is continuing to drink despite negative
consequences. To examine the changes in neural activity that underlie this behavior …

Associations between in vitro, in vivo and in silico cell classes in mouse primary visual cortex

Y Wei, A Nandi, X Jia, JH Siegle, D Denman… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The brain consists of many cell classes yet in vivo electrophysiology recordings are typically
unable to identify and monitor their activity in the behaving animal. Here, we employed a …
