Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

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 …

The brain's response to sensory input is strikingly modulated by behavioral state. Notably,
the visual response of mouse primary visual cortex (V1) is enhanced by locomotion, a …

The mechanistic link between neural circuit activity and behavior remains unclear. While
manipulating cortical activity can bias certain behaviors and elicit artificial percepts, some …

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 …

The brain continuously adapts its processing machinery to behavioural demands. To
achieve this, it rapidly modulates the operating mode of cortical circuits, controlling the way …

Studies of visual processing in rodents have conventionally been performed on
anesthetized animals, precluding examination of the effects of behavior on visually evoked …

Inhibitory interneurons are essential components of the neural circuits underlying various
brain functions. In the neocortex, a large diversity of GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) …

Attention is a core property of all perceptual and cognitive operations. Given limited capacity
to process competing options, attentional mechanisms select, modulate, and sustain focus …
