Neural Mechanisms of Attention

摘要

This project was successful in examining the neural mechanisms involved inattention. An important outcome is the conclusion that modification of neural transmission by attentional processes takes place in many different places in the nervous system, and at many different levels of information processing. Animal models of attentional processes are being developed that allow more extensive analysis of the neuroplastic changes involved in attention. The field of attention is now able to proceed in an integrated fashion similar to the way that memory has been pursued.
