Publications
Parameterization of transcranial magnetic stimulationMichael T Rubens
Departments of Neurology and Physiology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA
J Neurophysiol 107:1257-9. 2012..Moreover, the within-group replication of multiple between-group experiments suggests that independent evaluations of TMS parameters will continue to inform and guide future TMS research...
Age-related changes in orienting attention in timeTheodore P Zanto
Departments of Neurology and Physiology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94158, USA
J Neurosci 31:12461-70. 2011..Overall, these results provide novel evidence that older adults do not use temporal cues to orient attention in time and support an expectation deficit in normal aging...
Causal role of the prefrontal cortex in top-down modulation of visual processing and working memoryTheodore P Zanto
Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA
Nat Neurosci 14:656-61. 2011..These results suggest that top-down modulation mediated by the prefrontal cortex is a causal link between early attentional processes and subsequent memory performance...
Delays in neural processing during working memory encoding in normal agingTheodore P Zanto
Department of Neurology, W M Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neuroscience, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA
Neuropsychologia 48:13-25. 2010..These results suggest that the presence of both generalized feature-based and feature-specific deficits in the speed of selective encoding of information contributes to WM performance deficits in older adults...
Top-down modulation of visual feature processing: the role of the inferior frontal junctionTheodore P Zanto
Departments of Neurology and Physiology, University of California San Francisco, San Fransisco, CA, USA
Neuroimage 53:736-45. 2010..Furthermore, long-distance alpha (8-12Hz) phase coherence between the IFJ and visual cortices may serve as a mechanism underlying anticipatory, top-down modulation of color feature processing...
Predictive knowledge of stimulus relevance does not influence top-down suppression of irrelevant information in older adultsTheodore P Zanto
Department of Neurology, University of California San Francisco, CA, USA
Cortex 46:564-74. 2010..These results suggest that the inability to suppress irrelevant information early in the visual processing stream by older adults is related to mechanisms specific to top-down suppression...
Practice-related improvement in working memory is modulated by changes in processing external interferenceAnne S Berry
Department of Neurology, W M Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neuroscience, University of California, San Francisco, 600 16th St, Genentech Hall, MC2240 Rm N472J, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA
J Neurophysiol 102:1779-89. 2009....
Expectation-driven changes in cortical functional connectivity influence working memory and long-term memory performanceJacob Bollinger
W M Keck Center for Integrative Neurosciences, Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94158, USA
J Neurosci 30:14399-410. 2010..g., FFA) can be dynamically linked or disconnected from different brain regions depending on prestimulus expectations, and the strength of distinct connections is associated with WM or LTM benefits...
Neural suppression of irrelevant information underlies optimal working memory performanceTheodore P Zanto
Department of Neurology and Physiology, Keck Center for Integrative Neuroscience, University of California, San Francisco, California, 94158, USA
J Neurosci 29:3059-66. 2009....
The influence of perceptual training on working memory in older adultsAnne S Berry
Departments of Neurology and Physiology, W M Keck Foundation Center for Integrative Neuroscience, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA
PLoS ONE 5:e11537. 2010..These findings demonstrate the strength of the perceptual discrimination training approach by offering clear psychophysical evidence of transfer-of-benefit and a neural mechanism underlying cognitive improvement...
