Theta rhythmic neuronal activity and reaction times arising from cortical receptive field interactions during distributed attention

R Kienitz, JT Schmiedt, KA Shapcott, K Kouroupaki… - Current Biology, 2018 - cell.com
Growing evidence suggests that distributed spatial attention may invoke theta (3–9 Hz)
rhythmic sampling processes. The neuronal basis of such attentional sampling is, however …

Inhibitory control of correlated intrinsic variability in cortical networks

C Stringer, M Pachitariu, NA Steinmetz, M Okun… - Elife, 2016 - elifesciences.org
Cortical networks exhibit intrinsic dynamics that drive coordinated, large-scale fluctuations
across neuronal populations and create noise correlations that impact sensory coding. To …

Laminar microcircuitry of visual cortex producing attention-associated electric fields

JA Westerberg, MS Schall, A Maier, GF Woodman… - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
Cognitive operations are widely studied by measuring electric fields through EEG and

Stimulus feature-specific information flow along the columnar cortical microcircuit revealed by multivariate laminar spiking analysis

DA Tovar, JA Westerberg, MA Cox… - Frontiers in systems …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Most of the mammalian neocortex is comprised of a highly similar anatomical structure,
consisting of a granular cell layer between superficial and deep layers. Even so, different …

[HTML][HTML] Feedforward attentional selection in sensory cortex

JA Westerberg, JD Schall, GF Woodman… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Salient objects grab attention because they stand out from their surroundings. Whether this
phenomenon is accomplished by bottom-up sensory processing or requires top-down …

Stimulus-specific information flow across the canonical cortical microcircuit

DA Tovar, JA Westerberg, MA Cox, K Dougherty… - bioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
The vast majority of mammalian neocortex consists of a stereotypical microcircuit, the
canonical cortical microcircuit (CCM), consisting of a granular input layer, positioned …
