title: Searching for the neural mechanisms of feature-based attention in the primate brain.
abstract: In this issue, two studies, one by Zhou and Desimone and another by Cohen and Maunsell, provide new insights into the mechanisms of feature-based attention (FBA). The former demonstrates a new role of the frontal eye fields in the origins of FBA and the latter shows that FBA is coordinated across both hemispheres.
