Dorsal Attention Network
- pDLPFC / frontal eye fields
- Posterior parietal cortex: Superior parietal lobule (SPL) / Intra-parietal sulcus (IPS)
- rITC (above FPN region)
Functions: Selective attention.
Ventral Attention Network (VAN)
- Ventro-lateral prefrontal cortex – middle frontal gyrus (MFG) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG)
- Temporal parietal junction (TPJ) – inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and superior temporal gyrus (STG)
Functions: Bottom-up attentional processing.
External Attention System (EAS) : DAN and VAN
