Highlights•Macaque V1-V4 recordings reveal laminar and cell-type specific effects of attention•Layers II/III neurons in V4 show strongest and earliest attentional rate modulation•Layer IV interneurons in V4 but not excitatory neurons phase-lock to V1 gamma rhythm•Mice and monkeys show similar laminar and cell-type specific synchronization patternsSummarySelective attention is thought to depend on enhanced firing activity in extrastriate areas.
