BDNF-Induced potentiation of spontaneous twitching in innervated myocytes requires calcium release from intracellular stores.

abstract：:Attention is thought to improve most aspects of perception. However, we recently showed that, somewhat surprisingly, endogenous attention can also lead to low subjective perceptual ratings (Rahnev et al., 2011). Here we investigated the neural basis of this effect and tested whether spontaneous fluctuations of the att...
