Dopamine increases excitability of pyramidal neurons in primate prefrontal cortex.
Dopaminergic modulation of neuronal networks in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) is believed to play an important role in information processing during working memory tasks in both humans and nonhuman primates. To understand the basic cellular mechanisms that underlie these actions of dopamine (DA), we have investigated the influence of DA on the cellular properties of layer 3 pyramidal...
متن کاملAction observation activates neurons of the monkey ventrolateral prefrontal cortex
Prefrontal cortex is crucial for exploiting contextual information for the planning and guidance of behavioral responses. Among contextual cues, those provided by others' behavior are particularly important, in primates, for selecting appropriate reactions and suppressing the inappropriate ones. These latter functions deeply rely on the ability to understand others' actions. However, it is larg...
متن کاملDopamine gates sensory representations in cortex.
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) maintains information about relevant sensory stimuli, in a process thought to rely on dopamine release. In a recent paper, Jacob et al. (J Neurosci 33: 13724-13734, 2013) demonstrated one way in which dopamine might facilitate this process. The authors recorded from PFC neurons in monkeys during local application of dopamine. They found that dopamine increases the ga...
متن کاملSearch target selection in monkey prefrontal cortex.
To explore a visual scene, the brain must detect an object of interest and direct the eyes to it. To investigate the brain's mechanism of saccade target selection, we trained monkeys to perform a visual search task with a response delay and recorded neuronal activity in the prefrontal (PF) cortex. Even though the monkey was not allowed to express its choice until after a delay, the response fie...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortex neurons reflecting reports of a visual illusion.
When a small, focally attended visual stimulus and a larger background frame shift location at the same time, the frame's new location can affect spatial perception. For horizontal displacements on the order of 1--2 degrees, when the frame moves more than the attended stimulus, human subjects may perceive that the attended stimulus has shifted to the right or left when it has not done so. Howev...
