Spatial Attention Deficits Are Causally Linked to an Area in Macaque Temporal Cortex (Current Biology)

Using fMRI in macaques performing attention tasks combined with reversible inactivations, Bogadhi et al. provide causal evidence that a region on the floor of the superior temporal sulcus is a crucial node in the cortical control of covert selective attention and a putative homolog to temporal cortex regions in humans implicated in spatial neglect.
