Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, 6500 HB Nijmegen, The Netherlands
J Neurosci 29:1538-43. 2009

Top-down attentional control in Parkinson's disease: salient considerationsRoshan Cools
Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behavior, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, The Netherlands
J Cogn Neurosci 22:848-59. 2010
..The results provide a striking reinterpretation of prior set-shifting data and provide the first direct evidence for a failure of top-down attentional control, resembling that seen after catecholamine depletion in the pFC...

Striatal dopamine mediates the interface between motivational and cognitive control in humans: evidence from genetic imagingEsther Aarts
Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Neuropsychopharmacology 35:1943-51. 2010

The human basal ganglia modulate frontal-posterior connectivity during attention shiftingMartine R van Schouwenburg
Radboud University Nijmegen, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour, Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, 6500 HB, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
J Neurosci 30:9910-8. 2010
