Summary: This study measured occipital activity in different spatial regions during the processing of visual displays and found that goal-directed attention and salience jointly modulate activity distribution in the occipital cortex, with involvement of multiple functional paths and interactions.

Summary: The allocation of attention to objects and its mechanisms are explored in this review. Findings suggest that preattentive targets of object-based attention can be fully developed object representations. Control of object-based attention is believed to come from ventral visual areas that specialize in object analysis. The relationship between different modes of attention and object-based attention is also discussed.

Summary: Action plays a crucial role in determining survival, but has not been fully integrated into psychology. The field of action or motor behavior is separate from traditional psychology due to the need for specialization. However, recent interest in action has uncovered unexpected findings that challenge traditional theories, revealing a closer relationship between vision and action.

Summary: The study found that statistical regularities and salience signals both modulate occipital activity in a spatially specific manner, but their integration into attentional processing priorities relies on dissociable brain mechanisms.

Summary: People have better detection in peripheral vision when their pupils are larger and better discrimination in central vision when their pupils are smaller. However, it is not clear if our visual system dilates pupils when attention is focused on peripheral vision. In three experiments, we found that pupil size increases with attentional breadth, both when attention is broadly spread and when it is directed to specific locations in peripheral vision. Our findings suggest that cognitively driven pupil dilation is an adaptive response that emphasizes peripheral vision, rather than a marker of locus coeruleus activity as previously assumed.

Summary: Reliable and noninvasive biomarkers are important for neurological diagnoses. Microsaccades, small eye movements, have been proposed as a biomarker for attention, but their direction may not accurately reflect covert spatial attention in complex viewing conditions.

Summary: Understanding others' intentions requires understanding their gaze. Infants naturally acquire this ability, but can it be learned later if vision is extremely poor in early childhood? A study on Ethiopian patients with congenital cataracts showed that even after sight restoration surgery, they still could not exhibit normal eye gaze-following behavior.

Summary: This study investigated the role of dopamine and noradrenaline in attentional processing using the TVA model and the 5-choice serial reaction time task in rats. The results showed that different drugs had varying effects on attention, with some slowing down response speed and impairing visual processing while others speeding up response speed and improving attention. These findings have important implications for understanding and treating attention deficits and psychiatric disorders.

Summary: This study proposes a novel approach for objective and automated peripheral contrast sensitivity testing using reflexive saccades, showing strong correlations in CS values across different areas of the visual field. The study also highlights the significant influence of stimulus eccentricity and direction on CS function.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the modulation of auditory duration perception by task-irrelevant visual apparent motion. We found that the speed and temporal frequency of the apparent motion had an impact on the perception of auditory duration. Slow apparent motion led to overestimation of auditory duration, while fast apparent motion did not have this effect. Additionally, the temporal frequency of the apparent motion influenced auditory duration perception, with fast apparent motion and the actual motion frequency resulting in underestimation of auditory duration.

Summary: Conscious visual perception is associated with early processing in stimulus-specific sensory brain areas and occipitotemporal processes, while task-related processes lead to widespread brain activations, including late frontoparietal activity.

Summary: The study found that attention signals in the prefrontal cortex are more stable and better at predicting future attention states in V4 compared to V4 itself, indicating a functional specialization and division of labor in attention mechanisms across different cortical areas.

Summary: Covert attention, both endogenous and exogenous, improves performance by enhancing gain in all orientations without changing tuning width. In the spatial frequency dimension, endogenous attention enhances gain both above and below target frequency, whereas exogenous attention only enhances gain above. Exogenous attention also shifts peak sensitivity to frequencies above target, while endogenous attention does not.

Summary: Deficient information processing in ADHD may lead to sensory overload, but the study found no deficits in PPI and P50 suppression in adult, psychostimulant-naive patients with ADHD. Treatment with methylphenidate (MPH) improved symptoms and daily functioning, but unexpectedly decreased habituation abilities. This suggests that the difficulties in inhibiting distraction of attention in ADHD have a different origin than sensory overload in schizophrenia.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3a amplitude in adult ADHD patients and investigate the effects of methylphenidate (MPH) on these measures. The results showed that MPH treatment significantly reduced ADHD symptoms and improved daily functioning, but it did not significantly affect MMN amplitude. However, it did significantly reduce P3a amplitude compared to the healthy controls. Moreover, more severe ADHD symptoms were associated with larger MMN amplitudes in the patients.

Summary: This study investigated subjective sleep disturbances in adults with ADHD who were initially stimulant medication-naive, and reported changes in sleep problems after 6 weeks of methylphenidate treatment. The results showed a significant improvement in sleep quality for patients after methylphenidate medication, especially in those with the poorest reported sleep at baseline. The study suggests that treatment with methylphenidate can increase subjective sleep quality for at least some adults with ADHD.
