First, the representations we create are limited by sensory constraints.
It is noise defined in this way that limits the fidelity of information transmission, and ultimately of sensory performance.
This initial activation may, therefore, be a trigger and/or the initial stages of the processes ultimately leading to binding of that sensory event.
In the first place, it is unlikely that sensory information can be moved to a focus of attention except in a metaphorical sense.
As in sensory neuropathy the value of aldose reductase inhibitors, which block the accumulation of sorbitol, remains uncertain.
Other contributing factors may include decline in sensory input (hearing and visual acuity), working memory and executive function.
Second, the authors propose that damage to visual/sensory features will simply make inaccessible the functional information associated with the visual representation.
Information comes into the hippocampal system from the cerebral cortex, including the visual, auditory, sensory cortices and the motor cortex.
