Presentation Title:\t Cholinergic enhancement of visual representation in the owl optic tectum

Location:\t Hall A-C

Presentation time:\t Sunday, Nov 13, 2011, 11:00 AM ...

A primary function of the midbrain stimulus selection network is to compute the highest-priority location for attention and gaze. Here we report the contribution of a specific cholinergic circuit to this computation. We ...

Title:\t Periodic bursting of cholinergic neurons in the owl midbrain signals relative salience of sensory stimuli

Location:\t South Hall A

Presentation Time:\t Wednesday, ...

In addition to their well-known genomic effects via intracellular receptors, androgens rapidly alter neuronal excitability through a nongenomic pathway. The nongenomic effect of testosterone, as the main androgen, apart ...

Title:\t Competitive selection of salient stimuli in the owl optic tectum

Location:\t South Hall A

Presentation Time:\t Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009, 8:00 AM - 9:00 ...

Stimulus selection for gaze and spatial attention involves competition among stimuli across sensory modalities and across all of space. We demonstrate that such cross-modal, global competition takes place in the intermediate ...
