Fast Remapping of Sensory Stimuli onto Motor Actions on the Basis of Contextual Modulation (2004, background): “, 1997; McAdams and Maunsell, 1999; Treue and Martı́nezTrujillo, 1999), which are directly combined with spatial sensory information to produce a change in reference frame (Andersen et al., 1993; Pouget and Snyder, 2000; Salinas and Thier, 2000; Salinas and Abbott, 2001).”
Parvalbumin-Expressing Interneurons Linearly Transform Cortical Responses to Visual Stimuli (2012, background): “Gain control has been implicated, for example, in the modulation of visual responses by gaze direction (Brotchie et al., 1995; Salinas and Thier, 2000) as well as by attention (Treue and Martinez-Trujillo, 1999; McAdams and Maunsell, 1999).”
Intentional maps in posterior parietal cortex. (2002, background): “Top row of curvesrepresents the responses of four idealized neurons at two initial hand positions.Middleandbottom rowsshow the responses of a downstream neuron, derived as a weighted sum of the responses in the top row minus a constant (Salinas & Abbott 1995, Salinas & Thier 2000).”
Unsupervised Discovery of Demixed, Low-Dimensional Neural Dynamics across Multiple Timescales through Tensor Component Analysis (2017, methodology): “Such trial-to-trial fluctuations in amplitude have been 134 observed in a variety of sensory systems [22, 35–37], and are believed to be an important and ubiquitous feature 135 of cortical circuits [30, 31].”
Nonlinear Dynamic Causal Models for fMRI (2008, unknown): “This is a general and fundamental mechanism for a large range of processes, including eye and limb movements, spatial perception and, perhaps most significantly, attention (Salinas and Their, 2000).”
Artificial Neural Networks for Neuroscientists: A Primer (2020, background): “Attention modulation multiplies inputs to neurons by a gain factor, providing a graded mechanism of gating at the level of sensory systems (Salinas and Thier, 2000; Olsen et al., 2012).”
Prestimulus Oscillatory Activity in the Alpha Band Predicts Visual Discrimination Ability (2008, background): “It has been proposed that gain modulation is a general computational principle of the CNS (Salinas and Thier, 2000).”
The temporal context model in spatial navigation and relational learning: toward a common explanation of medial temporal lobe function across domains. (2005, background): “Gain modulation has been widely observed in diverse cortical systems (for a review, see Salinas & Thier, 2000).”
