Aging and Ventral -Visual Dedifferentiation of Perceptual Representations
… dedifferentiation may arise because of reduced neuronal selectivity for different types of visual stimuli with aging. The main focus of this thesis is to show that reduced neuronal selectivity is present even for stimuli within a single category, faces, in older adults, that relates to less …

Selective attention and the visual representation of object attributes in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex of the rhesus monkey
… to one or another of an object's attributes on neuronal representations of that object were investigated using extracellular recordings. A female rhesus monkey performed a delayed match to object attribute (DMSA) task, in which she alternately matched object orientations and object colors. In …

How does the primate ventral visual stream causally support core object recognition?
… deficits, each predicted by the local region's neuronal selectivity. Our results provide causal evidence that IT directly underlies primate object recognition behavior in a topographically organized manner. Taken together, these results establish quantitative experimental constraints for …

Emerging Auditory Selectivity in the Caudomedial Neostriatum of the Zebra Finch Songbird
… By chronically recording multiunit neuronal responses in awake, behaving zebra finch songbirds, I have demonstrated that the caudomedial neostriatum (NCM), a telencephalic nucleus in the ascending auditory pathway, exhibits responses that range from unselective to highly selective …
