Sustained attentional states require distinct temporal involvement of the dorsal and ventral medial prefrontal cortex

Sustained attentional states require distinct temporal involvement of the dorsal and ventral medial prefrontal cortex

Attending the sensory environment for cue detection is a cognitive operation that occurs on a time scale of seconds. The dorsal and ventral medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) contribute to separate aspects of attentional processing. Pyramidal neurons in different parts of the mPFC are active during cog...
