Biorobotics has the potential to provide an integrated understanding from neural systems to behavior that is neither ethical nor technically feasible with living systems. Robots that can interact with animals in their natural environment open new possibilities for empirical studies in neuroscience. However, designing a robot that can interact with a rodent requires considerations that span a range...
A current theory of attention posits that several micro‐indices of attentional vigilance are dependent on activation of the locus coeruleus, a brainstem nucleus that regulates cortical norepinephrine activity (Aston‐Jones et al., 1999). This theory may account for many findings in the infant literature, while highlighting important new areas for research and theory on infant attention. We examined...
The basal forebrain cholinergic system, which innervates widespread cortical and limbic structures, has traditionally been considered important for learning and memory. The use of an immunotoxin, IgG 192-saporin, has brought this functional designation into question; selective immunolesions of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons have failed to reproduce a number of behavioral deficits that were observed...
