Attractive faces temporally modulate visual attention
Facial attractiveness is an important biological and social signal on social interaction. Recent research has demonstrated that an attractive face captures greater spatial attention than an unattractive face does. Little is known, however, about the temporal characteristics of visual attention for facial attractiveness. In this study, we investigated the temporal modulation of visual attention ...
متن کاملVisual system maldevelopment disrupts extraocular muscle-specific myosin expression.
The genetic and epigenetic influences that are responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the unique phenotype of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) are poorly understood. A role for visual cues in shaping EOM maturation was assessed in rats by using two visual deprivation paradigms, dark rearing and monocular deprivation. Isoforms of the contractile protein myosin heavy chain (MHC) were ...
متن کاملAfferent signals from pigeon extraocular muscles modify the vestibular responses of units in the abducens nucleus.
Although the extraocular muscles contain stretch receptors it is generally believed that their afferents exert no influence on the control of eye movement. However, we have shown previously that these afferent signals reach various brainstem centres concerned with eye movement, notably the vestibular nuclei, and that the decerebrate pigeon is a favourable preparation in which to study their eff...

متن کاملTop-Down Signals in Visual Selective Attention
This thesis describes experimental work on the brain mechanisms underlying human visual selective attention, with a focus on top-down activity changes in visual cortex. Using a combination of methods, the experiments addressed related questions concerning the functional significance and putative origins of such activity modulations due to selective attention. More specifically, the experiment d...
