Attention-based long-lasting sensitization and suppression of colors
In contrast to the short-duration and quick reversibility of attention, a long-term sensitization to color based on protracted attention in a visual search task was reported by Tseng, Gobell, and Sperling (2004). When subjects were trained for a few hours to search for a red object among colored distracters, sensitivity to red was increased for weeks. This sensitization was quantified using amb...
متن کاملLimits in feature-based attention to multiple colors.
Attention to a feature enhances the sensory representation of that feature. Although much has been learned about the properties of attentional modulation when attending to a single feature, the effectiveness of attending to multiple features is not well understood. We investigated this question in a series of experiments using a color-detection task while varying the number of attended colors i...
متن کاملLong-lasting suppression of hippocampal cell proliferation and impaired cognitive performance by methotrexate in the rat.
Methotrexate (MTX) is a cytostatic agent widely used in combination with other agents as adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and is associated with cognitive impairment as a long-term side effect in some cancer patients. This paper aimed to identify a neurobiological mechanism possibly responsible for this cognitive impairment using an animal model. The first study explored the hypothesis t...
متن کاملFeature-based attention modulates surround suppression.
Stimuli appearing in the surround of the classical receptive field (CRF) can reduce neuronal firing and perceived contrast of a preferred stimulus in the CRF, a phenomenon referred to as surround suppression. Suppression is greatest when the surrounding stimulus has the same orientation and spatial frequency (SF) as the central target. Although spatial attention has been shown to influence surr...
متن کاملTransient behavioral sensitization to nicotine becomes long-lasting with monoamine oxidases inhibitors.
Drugs of abuse, such as D-amphetamine or nicotine, are generally considered as acting through an increased release of dopamine in a subcortical structure, the nucleus accumbens, thus inducing locomotor hyperactivity in rats. Following repeated treatments, the same drugs induce a progressive increase in locomotor response called behavioral sensitization. This process has been suggested to play a...
