Figure 1. Focusing Attention and Reorienting Attention Recruit Interacting Networks.

Figure 1

(Left panel) Focusing attention on an object produces sustained activations in dorsal fronto-parietal regions in the intraparietal sulcus, superior parietal lobule, and frontal eye fields, as well as visual regions in occipital cortex (yellow and orange colors) but sustained deactivations in more ventral regions in supramarginal gyrus and superior temporal gyrus (TPJ) and middle and inferior prefrontal cortex (blue and green colors). (Right panel) When an unexpected but important event evokes a reorienting of attention, both the dorsal regions and the formerly deactivated ventral regions are now transiently activated.
