Mechanisms of attention in visual cortex and the amygdala
Spatial attention enhances perception at specific locations in the visual field, measured behaviorally as improved task performance and faster reaction times. In visual cortex, neurons with receptive fields at attended locations display enhanced responses. This neural modulation is presumed to under...
