In a recent study, Ebitz and Moore described how subthreshold electrical microstimulation of the macaque frontal eye fields (FEF) modulates the pupillary light reflex. This elegant study suggests that the influence of the FEF and prefrontal cortex on attentional modulation of cortical visual processing extends to the subcortical circuit that mediates a very basic reflex, the pupillary light reflex.
在最近的一项研究中,Ebitz 和 Moore 描述了猴类额眼区(FEF)的阈下电微刺激如何调节瞳孔光反射。这项优雅的研究表明,FEF 和前额叶皮层对皮质视觉处理的注意力调节的影响扩展到了介导非常基本反射——瞳孔光反射的皮质下回路。
