Pay attention: How we focus and concentrate

Scientists at Newcastle University have shed new light on how the brain tunes in to relevant information.

Publishing in Neuron, the team reveal the interplay of brain chemicals which help us pay attention in work funded by the Wellcome Trust and BBSRC.

By changing the way neurons respond to external stimuli we improve our perceptual abilities. While these changes can affect the strength of a neuronal response, they can also affect the fidelity of that response.

Lead author Alex Thiele, Professor of Visual Neuroscience explains: “When you communicate with others, you can make yourself better heard by speaking louder or by speaking more clearly. Neurons appear to do similar things when we’re paying attention. They send their message more intensely to their partners, which compares to speaking louder. But more importantly, they also increase the fidelity of their message, which compares to speaking more clearly.

“Our earlier work has shown that attention is able to affect the intensity of responses – in effect the loudness - by means of the brain chemical acetylcholine. Now we have shown that the fidelity of the response is altered by a different brain chemical system.”

In the paper, the team reveal that the quality of the response is altered by means of glutamate coupling to NMDA receptors (a molecular device that mediates communication between neurons). Carried out in a primate model, these studies for the first time isolate different attention mechanisms at the receptor level.

The research builds on the team’s previous studies and has potentially significant implications not only for our understanding of how our brains work but also give an insight into conditions such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and attention deficit disorder, and may aid in the development of treatments for them.

Peaceful Days Ahead: A Few Things About Sex: Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.:

A dirty book is rarely dusty

Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go it’s one of the best.

Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.

Sex on television can’t hurt you unless you fall off.

Kids in back seats cause accidents, accidents in back seats cause kids.

Sex between a man and a woman can be absolutely wonderful - provided you get between the right man and the right woman.

An intellectual is a person who’s found one thing that’s more interesting than sex.

An erection is like the Theory of Relativity - the more you think about it, the harder it gets.

The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with a light on.

How lucky we are that we can reach our genitals instead of that spot on our back that itches.

Sperm is a bandit in its pure state.

It is not sex that gives the pleasure, but the lover.

Focus on the two ladies: Michelle Thrush, from the Cree Nation in Canada in the black dress; and Misty Upham from the Blackfeet Nation in the USA in a light dress. Misty says they are the first Native Americans to walk the Cannes red carpet. Also, the man right behind Misty is Puerto Rican actor Benicio del Toro. They are doing so for their movie Jimmy P.
