TLDR
It is suggested that distracting noise may help alert subjects to task goals and reduce demands on cortical resources during tasks of low difficulty and attentional load under conditions of higher load, however, additional cognitive resources may be required in the presence of noise.About:

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to successfully control a BCI system during the execution of multiple tasks such as piloting a flight simulator with an extra cognitive load induced by attentional tasks.

Cholinergic excitation in mouse primary vs. associative cortex: region-specific magnitude and receptor balance.
TL;DR: It is found that layer VI pyramidal neurons are a major source of top‐down modulation of attention, and it is demonstrated that the effect of ACh is not uniform throughout the cortex, and its ability to enhance attention performance may involve different cellular mechanisms across cortical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging deductive reasoning and the new paradigm.
TL;DR: There is a need to more tightly connect brain activation to function, which could be achieved using formalized computational level models and a parametric variation approach.

Neuronal effects of nicotine during auditory selective attention
Jason Smucny,Jason Smucny,Ann Olincy,Ann Olincy,Lindsay S. Eichman,Jason R. Tregellas,Jason R. Tregellas +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that nicotine may differentially affect neuronal response depending on task conditions, and have important theoretical implications for understanding how cholinergic tone may influence the neurobiology of selective attention.

Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain
TL;DR: Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease
TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

The relation of strength of stimulus to rapidity of habit-formation
Robert M. Yerkes,John D. Dodson +1 more
TL;DR: In connection with a study of various aspects of the modifiability of behavior in the dancing mouse a need for definite knowledge concerning the relation of strength of stimulus to rate of learning arose, the experiments which are now to be described arose.

An automated method for neuroanatomic and cytoarchitectonic atlas-based interrogation of fMRI data sets
TL;DR: This paper provides a powerful method of probing fMRI data using automatically generated masks based on lobar anatomy, cortical and subcortical anatomy, and Brodmann areas based on an automated atlas-based masking technique.

The precuneus: a review of its functional anatomy and behavioural correlates.
TL;DR: A useful conceptual framework is provided for matching the functional imaging findings with the specific role(s) played by this structure in the higher-order cognitive functions in which it has been implicated, and activation patterns appear to converge with anatomical and connectivity data in providing preliminary evidence for a functional subdivision within the precuneus.
