Layer-specificity in the effects of attention and working memory on activity in primary visual cortex

The effect of working memory on activity in primary visual cortex (V1) is not well understood. Here the authors report a clear influence of both working memory and attention on spiking activity in the superficial and deep layers of V1 with a weaker influence on input layer 4.
