Cognitive control, the ability to orchestrate behavior in accord with our goals, depends on
the prefrontal cortex. These cognitive functions are heavily influenced by the …

Recent evidence has demonstrated that environmental sampling is a fundamentally
rhythmic process. Both perceptual sensitivity during covert spatial attention and the …

Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

Long-range projections from the frontal cortex are known to modulate sensory processing in
multiple modalities. Although the mouse has become an increasingly important animal …

The ability to select information that is relevant to current behavioral goals is the hallmark of
voluntary attention and an essential part of our cognition. Attention tasks are a prime …

Abstract [Correction Notice: An erratum for this article was reported in Vol 118 (1) of
Psychological Review (see record 2011-00732-008). The presentation of the colors in …

The prefrontal cortex is thought to modulate sensory signals in posterior cortices during top-
down attention,, but little is known about the underlying neural circuitry. Experimental and …

The faculty of attention endows us with the capacity to process important sensory information
selectively while disregarding information that is potentially distracting. Much of our …

Dopamine is required for working memory, but how it modulates the large-scale cortex is
unknown. Here, we report that dopamine receptor density per neuron, measured by …

Working memory (WM) and decision-making (DM) are fundamental cognitive functions
involving a distributed interacting network of brain areas, with the posterior parietal cortex …
