This project investigates how norepinephrine affects attention by examining its direct influence on sensory cortex neurons in rats. Using a spatial attention task, researchers will analyze neuronal responses to stimuli while manipulating attention cues, aiming to clarify the role of norepinephrine in attention mechanis…
Norepinephrine (NE) medications affect attention and the ability to ignore distracting stimuli.
Current theories focus on prefrontal cortex (PFC) as the site of NE-induced modulation.
Sensory cortex neurons are also affected by NE.
We propose testing the hypothesis that NE may actually affect attention via direct action in sensory cortex.
To test this hypothesis, we will develop a rat spatial attention task that is analogous to those used in the nonhuman primate.
Head-fixed rats will be presente…
