Insights into the nature of fronto-temporal interactions from a biconditional discrimination task in the monkey (2002)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Gaffan, D. (2002). Insights into the nature of fronto-temporal interactions from a biconditional discrimination task in the monkey. Behavioural Brain Research, 136, 217-226. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0166-4328%2802%2900136-5

Previous work in monkeys has shown that both frontal and inferior temporal cortices are required to solve visual learning tasks. When communication between these cortical areas is prevented within the same hemisphere by crossed lesions of the frontal...

The uses of colour vision: behavioural and physiological distinctiveness of colour stimuli (2002)
Journal Article
Derrington, A., Parker, A., Barraclough, N., Easton, A., Goodson, G., Parker, K., …Webb, B. (2002). The uses of colour vision: behavioural and physiological distinctiveness of colour stimuli. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 357, 975-985. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2002.1116

Colour and greyscale (black and white) pictures look different to us, but it is not clear whether the difference in appearance is a consequence of the way our visual system uses colour signals or a by-product of our experience. In principle, colour i... Read More about The uses of colour vision: behavioural and physiological distinctiveness of colour stimuli.

Emotion-specific clues to the neural substrate of empathy. (2002)
Journal Article
Atkinson, A. (2002). Emotion-specific clues to the neural substrate of empathy. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 25(1), https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x02240017

Research only alluded to by Preston & de Waal (P&deW) indicates the disproportionate involvement of some brain regions in the perception and experience of certain emotions. This suggests that the neural substrate of primitive emotional contagion has... Read More about Emotion-specific clues to the neural substrate of empathy..

Feedback from V1 and inhibition from beyond the classical receptive field modulates the responses of neurons in the primate lateral geniculate nucleus (2002)
Journal Article
Webb, B., Tinsley, C., Barraclough, N., Easton, A., Parker, A., & Derrington, A. (2002). Feedback from V1 and inhibition from beyond the classical receptive field modulates the responses of neurons in the primate lateral geniculate nucleus. Visual Neuroscience, 19, 583-592

It is well established that the responses of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) can be modulated by feedback from visual cortex, but it is still unclear how cortico-geniculate afferents regulate the flow of visual information to the cort...

Gaze direction and maternal pitch in surprise-eliciting situations (2002)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., & Shepherd, J. (2002). Gaze direction and maternal pitch in surprise-eliciting situations. Infant Behavior & Development, 24(4), 408-417. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0163-6383%2802%2900085-1

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that not only do babies use emotional signals from adults in order to relate emotions to specific situations (e.g., Campos & Stenberg, 1981) but also that mothers seek out emotional information fro...
