Abstract text: Current models of working memory and focal attention converge upon the idea of an adaptable global system, distributed across a network of frontal and parietal brain regions. Here we examine how the human frontoparietal network selectively adapts to represent currently relevant information during a simple attentional task - monitoring for a target item in a series of non-targets. Across the whole frontoparietal network there is selective response to targets, in line with a global system for coding task-relevant inputs. At the same time, there are striking dissociations in response to non-targets; while ventrolateral frontal cortex responds just to the target, more dorsal/ anterior regions respond to all stimuli from the target category. The results show different degrees of target selectivity across different regions of the frontoparietal network.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has.

PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions.

Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy.

If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
