We examined how attention affected the orientation tuning of 262 isolated neurons in extrastriate area V4 and 135 neurons in area V1 of
two rhesus monkeys. The animals were trained to perform a delayed
match-to-sample task in which oriented stimuli were presented in the
receptive field of the neuron being recorded. On some trials the
animals were instructed to pay attention to those stimuli, and on other
trials they were instructed to pay attention to other stimuli outside
the receptive field. In this way, orientation-tuning curves could be
constructed from neuronal responses collected in two behavioral states:
one in which those stimuli were attended by the animal and one in which
those stimuli were ignored by the animal. We fit Gaussians to the
neuronal responses to twelve different orientations for each behavioral
state. Although attention enhanced the responses of V4 neurons (median
26% increase) and V1 neurons (median 8% increase), selectivity, as
measured by the width of its orientation-tuning curve, was not
systematically altered by attention. The effects of attention were
consistent with a multiplicative scaling of the driven response to all
orientations. We also found that attention did not cause systematic
changes in the undriven activity of the neurons.
Key words:
