Abstract To behave adaptively in complex environments, animals must selectively process the most important information in space while ignoring distractors. Here, we report that an evolutionarily ancient group of brainstem inhibitory neurons, called PLTi, is surprisingly critical for this function of selective spatial attention.

Abstract To behave adaptively in complex environments, animals must selectively process the most important information in space while ignoring distractors. Contrary to the dominant cortico-centric view, we report that an evolutionarily old group of inhibitory neurons in the brainstem, called PLTi, is critical for this function of selective spatial attention.

Ancient midbrain inhibitory neurons control selective spatial attention

Abstract Animal behavior at any instant is guided by information from only a subset of the plethora of stimuli in their sensory environments. The neural circuit mechanisms that select a behaviorally relevant ′target′ from one location while ignoring distracting stimuli from all others remain unclear. Here, we report the discovery of an explicit neural mechanism for distracter suppression across space.
