https://www.selleckchem.com/products/oprozomib-onx-0912.html The effects of visual spatial attention on neuronal firing rates have been well characterized for neurons throughout the visual processing hierarchy. Interestingly, the mechanisms by which attention generates more or fewer spikes in response to a visual stimulus remain unknown. One possibility is that attention boosts the likelihood that synaptic inputs to a neuron result in spikes. We performed a novel analysis to measure local field potentials (LFPs) just prior to spikes, or reverse spike-triggered LFP "wavelets," for neurons recorded in primary visual cortex (V1) of monkeys performing a contrast change detection task requiring covert shifts in visual spatial attention. We used dimensionality reduction to define LFP wavelet shapes with single numerical values, and we found that LFP wavelet shape changes correlated with changes in neuronal firing rate. We then tested whether a simple classifier could predict monkeys' focus of attention from LFP wavelet shape. LFP wavelet shapes sampled in discrete windows were predictive of the locus of attention for some neuronal types. These findings suggest that LFP wavelets are a useful proxy for local network activity influencing spike generation, and changes in LFP wavelet shape are predictive of the focus of attention.The question of longitudinal hippocampal functional specialization is critical to human episodic memory because an accurate understanding of this phenomenon would impact theories of mnemonic function and entail practical consequences for the clinical management of patients undergoing temporal lobe surgery. The implementation of the robotically assisted stereo electroencephalography technique for seizure mapping has provided our group with the opportunity to obtain recordings simultaneously from the anterior and posterior human hippocampus, allowing us to create an unparalleled data set of human subjects with simultaneous anterior and posterior hippoca
