Microstimulation of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Biases Saccade Target Selection
A long-standing issue concerning the executive function of the primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is how the activity of prefrontal neurons is linked to behavioral response selection. To establish a functional relationship between prefrontal memory fields and saccade target selection, we trained three macaque monkeys to make saccades to the remembered location of a visual cue in a delayed s...
متن کاملUnilateral deactivation of macaque dorsolateral prefrontal cortex induces biases in stimulus selection.
Following unilateral brain injury, patients are often unable to detect a stimulus presented in the contralesional field when another is presented simultaneously ipsilesionally. This phenomenon has been referred to as extinction and has been conceptualized as a deficit in selective attention. Although most commonly observed following damage to posterior parietal areas, extinction has been observ...
متن کاملInvolvement of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of monkeys in visuospatial target selection.
To examine the involvement of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in visuospatial target selection, we induced local, reversible inactivation with muscimol at various sites in the dorsolateral PFC of two rhesus monkeys while they performed oculomotor visual search (OVS) and oculomotor detection (OD) tasks. The OVS task required the subject to select a target stimulus from among distractors...
متن کاملNeuronal activity representing visuospatial mnemonic processes associated with target selection in the monkey dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
To investigate how visuospatial mnemonic and target selection processes are represented in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC), we studied neuronal attributes of the dorsolateral PFC while monkeys were performing oculomotor delayed visual search (ODVS) and oculomotor delayed-response (ODR) tasks. In the ODVS task, the subject made a memory-guided saccade to a remembered target location tha...
متن کاملOrbital Versus Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Content differentiation models posit that different areas of the prefrontal cortex perform similar operations but differ in terms of the content that is operated on. For example, it has been suggested that the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) perform similar working memory or inhibitory operations, but on different types of content (e.g., reward versus s...
