Neurophysiological Correlates of the Reflexive Orienting of Spatial Attention
There are two reflexive biases in orienting attention that assist in the exploration of the visual scene. A distinct object will draw, or capture, spatial attention to its locus. After this object has been inspected (and deemed irrelevant), inhibition of return prevents its repeated inspection. Here, we describe the neurophysiological correlates of these biases in orienting attention. In the su...
متن کاملA Dominance Hierarchy of Auditory Spatial Cues in Barn Owls
BACKGROUND Barn owls integrate spatial information across frequency channels to localize sounds in space. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We presented barn owls with synchronous sounds that contained different bands of frequencies (3-5 kHz and 7-9 kHz) from different locations in space. When the owls were confronted with the conflicting localization cues from two synchronous sounds of equal le...
متن کاملHistological and Biochemical Alterations in the Superior Colliculus and Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of Juvenile Rats Following Prenatal Exposure to Marijuana Smoke
Prenatal exposure to marijuana has been associated with a variety of brain deficits, as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its main active ingredient crosses the placenta and affects foetal brain development. Despite this effect, marijuana remains a commonly abused substance among pregnant women. In the current study, we examined the histological and biochemical changes in the superior colliculus (...
متن کاملNeural correlates of the automatic and goal-driven biases in orienting spatial attention.
How do stimuli in the environment interact with the goals of observers? We addressed this question by showing that the relevance of an abruptly appearing visual object (cue) changes how observers orient attention toward a subsequent object (target) and how this target is represented in the activity of neurons in the superior colliculus. Initially after the appearance of the cue, attention is dr...
متن کاملNeural correlates of spatial orienting in the human superior colliculus.
A natural visual scene contains more information than the visual system has the capacity to simultaneously process, requiring specific items to be selected for detailed analysis at the expense of others. Such selection and inhibition are fundamental in guiding search behavior, but the neural basis of these mechanisms remains unclear. Abruptly appearing visual items can automatically capture att...
