Neuronal activity in prefrontal cortex and visual area V4 predict response speed and correct behavior in an attentional task through different mechanisms
Emile Caytan, Sofia Paneri, Georgia Gregoriou · FENS Forum 2024
Selective visual attention is a key feature of adaptive behavior, improving stimulus detection and response speed. Although it is well established that several measures of neural activity are modulated by attention in many brain areas, it is unclear whether and how these changes in activity correlate with behavior and how different cell types contribute to these mechanisms. To unravel the link between the behavioral benefits induced by spatial attention and its neuronal mechanisms, we analyzed neuronal responses obtained from simultaneous extracellular recordings in PFC and visual area V4 of t
