Attentional modulation of alpha oscillations in macaque inferotemporal cortex.
Recent work reported the observation of alpha frequency oscillations (8-12 Hz) in several regions of macaque visual cortex, including V2, V4, and inferotemporal cortex (IT). While alpha-related physiology in V2 and V4 appears consistent with a role in attention-related suppression, in IT, alpha reactivity appears conflicted with such a role. We addressed this issue directly by analyzing laminar...
متن کاملNeuronal mechanisms of cortical alpha oscillations in awake-behaving macaques.
Field potential oscillations at approximately 10 Hz (alpha rhythm) are widely noted in the visual cortices, but their physiological mechanisms and significance are poorly understood. In vitro studies have implicated pyramidal neurons in both infragranular and supragranular layers as pacemakers. The generality of these observations for the intact brain in the behaving subject is unknown. We anal...
متن کاملFrontal eye fields control attentional modulation of alpha and gamma oscillations in contralateral occipitoparietal cortex.
Covertly directing visuospatial attention produces a frequency-specific modulation of neuronal oscillations in occipital and parietal cortices: anticipatory alpha (8-12 Hz) power decreases contralateral and increases ipsilateral to attention, whereas stimulus-induced gamma (>40 Hz) power is boosted contralaterally and attenuated ipsilaterally. These modulations must be under top-down control; h...
متن کاملAttentional modulation of alpha/beta and gamma oscillations reflect functionally distinct processes.
The brain adapts to dynamic environments by adjusting the attentional gain or precision afforded to salient and predictable sensory input. Previous research suggests that this involves the regulation of cortical excitability (reflected in prestimulus alpha oscillations) before stimulus onset that modulates subsequent stimulus processing (reflected in stimulus-bound gamma oscillations). We prese...
متن کاملOlder adults show impaired modulation of attentional alpha oscillations: Evidence from the cocktail party
Auditory attention is critical for selective listening to speech from a single talker in a multi-talker environment (e.g., the cocktail party problem, Cherry, 1953). This type of listening is notoriously more difficult and more poorly encoded to longterm memory in older adults than in young adults (Tun, O’Kane, & Wingfield, 2002). Recent work by Payne et al. (2016) in young adults demonstrated ...
