Coding of spatial attention priorities and object features in the macaque lateral intraparietal cortex

Primate posterior parietal cortex ( PPC ) is known to be involved in controlling spatial attention. Neurons in one part of the PPC , the lateral intraparietal area ( LIP ), show enhanced responses to objects at attended locations. Although many are selective for object features, such as the orientation of a visual stimulus, it is not clear how LIP circuits integrate feature‐selective information when providing attentional feedback about...
