Attention selectively prioritizes goal-related information to facilitate visual perception. Various studies have demonstrated that visual attention enhanced the efficacy of neuronal pairs’ interactions between the hierarchically structured visual cortex. The primary visual cortex (V1) also exhibits a hierarchical connection between simple (S) and complex (C) cells. We wonder about the impact of visual attention on neuronal interactions within V1, encompassing both the extent and manner in which it occurs. When monkeys engaged in an attention-involved task, we simultaneously recorded neuronal p
