One of the great strengths of the mouse model is the wide array of genetic tools that have
been developed. Striking examples include methods for directed modification of the …

Advances on several fronts have refined our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms of
attention. This review focuses on recent progress in understanding visual attention through …

Top-down modulation of sensory processing allows the animal to select inputs most relevant
to current tasks. We found that the cingulate (Cg) region of the mouse frontal cortex …

Visual attention can improve behavioral performance by allowing observers to focus on the
important information in a complex scene. Attention also typically increases the firing rates of …

Neurons in sensory cortex integrate multiple influences to parse objects and support
perception. Across multiple cortical areas, integration is characterized by two neuronal …

To the extent that selective attention skills are relevant for academic foundations and
amenable to training, they represent an important focus for the field of education. Here …

Sensory information travels along feedforward connections through a hierarchy of cortical
areas, which, in turn, send feedback connections to lower-order areas. Feedback has been …

Attention allows us to select relevant sensory information for preferential processing.
Behaviourally, it improves performance in various visual tasks. One prominent effect of …

Top-down visual attention improves perception of selected stimuli and that improvement is
reflected in the neural activity at many stages throughout the visual system. Recent studies …

The highly interconnected local and large-scale networks of the neocortical sheet rapidly
and dynamically modulate their functional connectivity according to behavioral demands …
