NMDA synapses can bias competition between object representations and mediate attentional selection
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (1):100-101 (2003)
Abstract
Phillips & Silverstein emphasize the gain-control properties of NMDA synapses in cognitive coordination. We endorse their view and suggest that NMDA synapses play a crucial role in biased attentional competition and (visual) working memory. Our simulations show that NMDA synapses can control the storage rate of visual objects. We discuss specific predictions of our model about cognitive effects of NMDA-antagonists and schizophrenia.My notes
