title: Attention! V1 neurons lining up for inspection.
abstract: In this issue of Neuron, Roelfsema and Spekreijse report that macaque V1 neuron responses are correlated with target choice in a task requiring monkeys to attentively trace a line to plan a saccade. These results provide evidence that V1 is actively involved in the interpretation of visual stimuli.
