Top-down control of visual sensory processing during an ocular motor response inhibition task.
The study addressed whether top-down control of visual cortex supports volitional behavioral control in a novel antisaccade task. The hypothesis was that anticipatory modulations of visual cortex activity would differentiate trials on which subjects knew an anti- versus a pro-saccade response was required. Trials consisted of flickering checkerboards in both peripheral visual fields, followed b...
متن کاملInhibition Mediates Top-Down Control of Sensory Processing
In this issue of Neuron, Hamilton et al. (2013) stimulate identified inhibitory interneurons with optogenetics, revealing powerful control of the flow of sensory responses across cortical layers. During natural behavior, these influences may mediate the rapid adaptive abilities necessary for detection and perception of sensory signals in noisy environments.
متن کاملSensory-to-motor processing of the ocular-following response.
The ocular-following response is a slow tracking eye movement that is elicited by sudden drifting movements of a large-field visual stimulus in primates. It helps to stabilize the eyes on the visual scene. Previous single unit recordings and chemical lesion studies have reported that the ocular-following response is mediated by a pathway that includes the medial superior temporal (MST) area of ...
متن کاملLearning selective top-down control enhances performance in a visual categorization task Top-down control in learning a categorization task
We model the putative neuronal and synaptic mechanisms involved in learning a visual categorization task, taking inspiration from single-cell recordings in inferior temporal cortex (ITC). Our working hypothesis is that learning the categorization task involves both bottom-up, ITC to pre-frontal cortex (PFC), and top-down (PFC to ITC) synaptic plasticity, and that the latter enhances the selecti...
متن کاملTop-down contingent attentional capture during feed-forward visual processing.
Theeuwes (2010) summarizes an impressive number of studies demonstrating interference by irrelevant visual singletons in computer experiments with humans. In these studies, if participants search for a relevant singleton target, such as the single diamond among circles (i.e., a shape singleton), an irrelevant singleton distractor, such as the single red circle among the green stimuli (i.e., a c...
