Hemispheric asymmetries for different components of global/local attention occur in distinct temporo-parietal loci.
Data from brain-damaged and neurologically intact populations indicate hemispheric asymmetries in the temporo-parietal cortex for discriminating an object's global form (e.g. the overall shape of a bicycle) versus its local parts (e.g. the spokes in a bicycle tire). However, it is not yet clear whether such asymmetries reflect processes that (i) bias attention toward upcoming global versus loca...
متن کاملDistinct Regions of Right Temporo-Parietal Junction Are Selective for Theory of Mind and Exogenous Attention
In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, a cortical region in the right temporo-parietal junction (RTPJ) is recruited when participants read stories about people's thoughts ('Theory of Mind'). Both fMRI and lesion studies suggest that a region near the RTPJ is associated with attentional reorienting in response to an unexpected stimulus. Do Theory of Mind and attentional reorien...
متن کاملControl networks and hemispheric asymmetries in parietal cortex during attentional orienting in different spatial reference frames.
Neuropsychological research has consistently demonstrated that spatial attention can be anchored in one of several coordinate systems, including those defined with respect to an observer (viewer-centered), to the gravitational vector (environment-centered), or to individual objects (object-centered). In the present study, we used hemodynamic correlates of brain function to investigate the neura...
متن کاملAsymmetries in hemispheric control of attention in schizophrenia.
Investigators have long suggested that schizophrenia might be related to an impairment in the regulation of attention. In this report, the performance of schizophrenic patients was compared with nonschizophrenic control subjects in their ability to direct visual attention. In the first experiment, patients were distinguished from controls by a slower response to a target in the right visual fie...
متن کاملThe role of the parietal cortex in visual attention--hemispheric asymmetries and the effects of learning: a magnetic stimulation study.
Our previous studies of the role of the parietal cortex in visual learning and attention showed that the right parietal cortex is required for normal performance on conjunction visual search tasks but that its role depends on whether subjects are naive or trained on the task. Here we extend these findings in two Experiments. Experiment 1 shows that magnetic stimulation of the left parietal cort...
