Single neuron, evoked potential and metabolic techniques show that attention influences visual processing in extrastriate cortex. We provide anatomical, electrophysiological and behavioral evidence that prefrontal cortex regulates neuronal activity in extrastriate cortex during visual discrimination. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during a visual detection task in patients with damage in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Prefrontal damage reduced neuronal activity in extrastriate… CONTINUE READING
