The reorienting system of the human brain: from environment to theory of mind. (2008, neutral): “While reorienting to an object can be driven by salience and behavioral relevance, relevance is the critical factor that determines whether an object activates the ventral network (Downar et al., 2001).”
Cerebral correlates of alerting, orienting and reorienting of visuospatial attention: an event-related fMRI study (2004, background): “The data suggest that frontal and parietal regions are specifically involved in reorienting rather than orienting attention to a spatial position.”
Attentional systems in target and distractor processing: a combined ERP and fMRI study (2004, background): “The activity in the right temporoparietal junction (TPJ, especially in the IPL) increases with the task relevance of the rare stimulus (Downar et al., 2001).”
Prefrontal cortex involvement in preattentive auditory deviance detection: : neuroimaging and electrophysiological evidence (2003, methodology): “Right IFG was activated by visual and auditory deviant stimuli regardless of task relevance in two studies of Downar et al. (2001, 2002).”
Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain (2002, background): “This region is enhanced when oddball or infrequent stimuli in an attended modality (for example, vision) are detected, as compared with experiments in which the same stimuli are presented and subjects are monitoring for targets in a different modalit”
Conversion hystérique, hypnose et imagerie cérébrale (2010, positive): “In 862 Neuron 62, 862–875, June 25, 2009 ª2009 Elsevier Inc. support of this idea, recent studies have examined the effect of hypnosis on selective attention using Stroop tasks and reported either decreases or increases in ACC depending on the suggestion (Egner et al., 2005; Raz et al., 2005).”
Facial expressions and complex IAPS pictures: Common and differential networks (2006, background): “Amygdala activity has been most reported in response to fearful stimuli (Breiter et al., 1996; Downar et al., 2001; Hariri et al., 2003; Morris et al., 1996; Phillips et al., 1997; Whalen et al., 2001).”
Saliency, switching, attention and control: a network model of insula function (2010, neutral): “Specifically, we note that across visual, tactile, and auditory modalities, the insula responds strongly to deviant stimuli embedded in a stream of continuous stimuli (Crottaz-Herbette and Menon 2006; Downar et al. 2001; Linden et al. 1999).”
Parietal cortex and attention. (2004, background): “For example, when subjects attend to and monitor a change in either a visual or an auditory stimulus presented simultaneously, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) activation of the TPJ region of the right parietal lobe is enhanced; this only happens, however, when the stimulus change occurs in ”
