Neuronal Activity in the Lateral Intraparietal Area and Spatial Attention

Bisley, James W., Goldberg, Michael E.·2003·Science

Abstract

Although the parietal cortex has been implicated in the neural processes underlying visual attention, the nature of its contribution is not well understood. We tracked attention in the monkey and correlated the activity of neurons in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) with the monkey's attentional performance. The ensemble activity in LIP across the entire visual field describes the spatial and temporal dynamics of a monkey's attention. Activity subtending a single location in the visual field describes the attentional priority at that area but does not predict that the monkey will actually attend to or make an eye movement to that location.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The larger visual response suggests that Ts was more salient when there was greater choice uncertainty.

    “suggesting that Ts was more salient when there was greater choice uncertainty (43).”
  • Neural responses to target selection can be flexibly linked with action, being coupled with a shift of gaze, a skeletal response, or no immediate motor action.

    “Experiments that dissociate visual selection from motor output show that neural responses to target selection can be flexibly linked with action – for example, being coupled with a shift of gaze, with a skeletal response or with no immediate motor action (Balan et al., 2008; Bisley and Goldberg, 2003; Schall et al., 2011).”

  • The SLF II provides information on visual space and visuo-motor function, which may contribute to spatial attention.

    “The SLF II provides information on visual space and visuo-motor function, which may contribute to spatial attention [61–63].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
