About the Cover
Attention is our brain’s compass in an information-rich world. While cortical mechanisms of attention are well studied, the brain-wide orchestration of attentional processing remains unclear. Yue et al. map whole-brain neural activity in mice during an attention-demanding shooting task (simulating the 5-choice serial reaction time task), combining EEG, c-Fos staining, and functional network analysis. The cover depicts a mouse sharpshooter maintaining laser focus to hit a moving target—a playful metaphor for sustained attention. In the brain illustration, blue spheres mark active regions, connecting lines trace functional networks, and gold highlights pinpoint the attentional ‘core’ of this brain-wide dynamic system.
