The control of overt and covert attention across two nodes of the attention-control network

The paper tests priority map theory by analyzing electrophysiological data from two brain areas, finding they process spatial attention differently and challenge existing models of attention control.

A spatial memory signal shows that the parietal cortex has access to a craniotopic representation of space

The paper shows that neurons in the lateral intraparietal area of monkeys respond to spatial memory of stimuli, indicating access to a craniotopic representation of space.
