25
Dorsal fronto-parietal network directed towards: Involves:
Preparing and applying goal-directed (top-down) selection Intraparietal cortex and superior frontal cortex (including frontal eye fields)
26
Ventral fronto-parietal network Directed towards: Involves:
Detection of behaviorally relevant stimuli (bottom-up) Temporoparietal cortex and inferior frontal cortex Mainly right-lateralized More active - when drop something, is something dangerous ? etc.
27
Frontal eye fields coordinate
eye movements and shifts of gaze
28
Direction of gaze from FEF to other visual areas modulates
level of activity
29
Stimulus not present but attention directed to area
no activity in V4 (b/c no stimulus) fair amount of activity in FEF - in anticipation of a stimulus
30
stimulate activity in FEF (via TMS) modulate activity
in area MT and FFA
31
Spatial neglect/hemi neglect
A failure to acknowledge, explore, or respond to stimuli located on contralesional side of space most of time due to damage in right hemisphere - exiperenced as Left hemi neglect Typically expressed by ‘ignoring’ left side of objects - not incapable of noticing on left size - just not able to incorporate it
32
Letter cancelation test
cancel out letter told to - only cross out A on one side - hemi neglect
33
spatial neglect is not
a primary sensory (visual) or memory deficit per se this can be seen when patient is asked to imagine a scene - only name things on R side from where standing
34
spatial neglect can be modulated by
motivation
35
Localization of neglect can look similar to ___ but not \_\_
visual cortical lesions but not cortically blind
36
Bálint’s syndrome
A profound disorder of visual attention with several parts: **Simultagnosia, Optic ataxia, Ocular apraxia**
37
Simultagnosia
inability to perceive more than one object at a time during a single fixation
38
Optic ataxia
misreaching for objects
39
Ocular ataxia
disorganization of voluntary eye movements
40
Localization of neglect lesion location
Lesions of control systems - Inferior parietal, superior temporal areas (at junction of these two)
41
can observe unilateral spatial neglect by
observing eye patterns neglect patients show pattern of movement biased in the direction of the right visual field.
42
patients with neglect __ copy an image and cannot ___ from memory
cannot copy and cannot draw from memory
43
spatial neglect not only applies to sensory world but also
in remembering a scene | (ex. imagine looking at a building and then looking from the building)
44
extinsion in spatial neglect is a \_\_
failure to perceive or act on contralesional stimulus due to the presence of competing stimulus in ipsilateral hemifield (which prevents patient from detecting the contralesional stimulus)
45
Neglect is __ while Balint is
unilateral lesion, bilateral lesion.
46
extinsion in spatial neglect shows
that sensory inputs are competitive
47
Late selection model
perceptual system processes all inputs than selection takes place
48
early selection model
stimulus can be selected for further processing or thrown out as irrelevant for further processing
49
selection model
mix of both early and late selection (attention involved in early selection and reflective (coattail party effect) in late selection)
50
endogenous cuing
orientating of attention to the cue is voluntary and driven by goals (focus on dot)
51
exogenous cuing
automatic capture of attention (flash of light)
52
cost of attention
when something occurs at an unexpected location
53
first big ERP wave
positive polarity - P1
54
biased competition model for selective attention
different stimuli in a visual seen fall within the receptive field of a neuron, bottom up signals compete to control neuron firing, attention helps resolve competition
55
the higher up in visual hierarchy the
greater chance for competition because visual fields are larger- thus a greater need for attention
56
perigeniculate nucleus
proton of thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) that surrounds the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is large neuronal projections from here to V1 - TRN circuitry
57
highly focused visual spatial attention can modulate
activity in the thalamus via the perigeneculate nucleus
58
Attention involves either activating or inhibiting signal transmission from the __ to the ___ via the ___ descending neural signal from cortex or signal from subcortical inputs travel to __ that \_\_\_, and ____ information transmission form the __ to the ___ also the inputs can \_\_
LGN to the visual cortex by the TRN circuitry TRN neurons that excite TRN neurons and inhibit information transmission from the LGN to the visual cortex inputs can suppress TRN neurons, increasing transmission from LGN to visual cortex
59
Inhibition of return
IOR - so that we do not hyperfixate on one thing
60
feature integration theory of attention
spatial attention must be directed to relevant stimuli in order to integrate features into a perceived object and it must be deployed in a serial manner for each item in the array - this is necessary to link the information in the different feature maps so that the target can be analyzed and identified - for conjunction search
61
conjunction search affects the __ wave in a similar way that __ does
P1, cued spatial attention does | (increases firing)
