Attention-related behavioral changes in either criterion or sensitivity are associated with distinct neural correlates. (A) Hypothetical example of a change in only behavioral criterion (orange) in terms of hit rate and false alarm rate and a hypothetical example of a change in only behavioral sensitivity (blue). (B) Isolated attention-related behavioral change in either criterion or sensitivity. Each marker indicates behavioral performance of one of 2 monkeys (different markers) in a single daily session. (C) Attention-related neuronal modulations in 2 cortical areas have distinct relationships with the 2 kinds of behavioral changes. Changes in neuronal firing rates in area V4 are associated with behavioral changes in sensitivity and not criterion, whereas changes in firing rates in lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) are associated with either behavioral change.
