RDRobert DesimoneJDJohn S. Duncan

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand the neural mechanisms behind selective visual attention by investigating the default mode network.
  • Examined the default mode network across human, nonhuman primate, cat, and rodent brains.
  • Analyzed cortical areas involved in visual attention processes.
  • Identified key cortical areas within the default mode network that support visual attention.
  • Demonstrated symmetrical organization of these neural networks across different species.

Abstract

The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral temporal cortices of the human, nonhuman primate, cat, and rodent brains. Its ...Read More
