  title = {From Behavior to Neural Dynamics: An Integrated Theory of Attention.},
  abstract = { The brain has a limited capacity and therefore needs mechanisms to selectively enhance the information most relevant to one{\textquoteright}s current behavior. We refer to these mechanisms as "attention." Attention acts by increasing the strength of selected neural representations and preferentially routing them through the brain{\textquoteright}s large-scale network. This is a critical component of cognition and therefore has been a central topic in cognitive neuroscience. Here we review a diverse literature that has studied attention at the level of behavior, networks, circuits, and neurons. We then integrate these disparate results into a unified theory of attention. },
