Wide range of perspectives from evolutionary, developmental and genetic influences to functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies of patients.
Contributions cover attention (eye movements) as well as the link between attention and working memory.
A strong clinical/neuropsychological emphasis together with papers focussed on neurophysiological and computational mechanisms.
This volume covers a broad range of current research topics addressing the function of visuospatial attention and working memory. It discusses a variety of perspectives ranging from evolutionary and genetic underpinnings to neural substrates/computational processes and the connection between attention and working memory. Contributions address the topic at the molecular, system and evolutionary scales and will be of interest to a range of audiences from animal behaviour specialists, experimental psychologists to clinicians in the field of psychiatry and neurology.
