Whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to examine the neural substrates of internally (endogenous) and externally (exogenous) induced covert shifts of attention. Thirteen normal subjects performed three orienting conditions: endogenous (location of peripheral target predicted by a central arrow 80 of the time), exogenous (peripheral target preceded by a noninformative peripheral cue), and control (peripheral target preceded by noninformative central cue).

Differential cortical activation during voluntary and reflexive saccades in man

The link between covert attention and saccade programming

Attention allocation and saccade goal selection in the antisaccade task are mediated by a common competitive process, suggesting parallel attentional selection of the cued and anti-saccade locations.

Cognitive Mechanism of Visual Inhibition of Return

The cognitive mechanism theories of IOR are reviewed and how IOR is generated and expressed is discussed, which includes integration-segregation theory and three factors theory.

Deconstructing saccades : identifying the components of saccades that produce saccade-induced retrieval enhancement.

Neuronal modulation of auditory attention by informative and uninformative spatial cues

Healthy adults who underwent event‐related FMRI while performing a task that manipulated automatic and more controlled auditory orienting were studied, finding that the auditory modality may be more biased toward automatic shifts of attention following uninformative cues.

Anterior Intraparietal Sulcus is Sensitive to Bottom–Up Attention Driven by Stimulus Salience

Separable roles for FEF and aIPS in attentional control are demonstrated with FEF more involved in goal-directed spatial attention and a IPS relatively more sensitive to bottom–up attentional influences driven by stimulus salience.

Covert orienting of attention and overt eye movements activate identical brain regions

Pharmacological modulation of the neural basis underlying inhibition of return (IOR) in the human 5-HT2A agonist and NMDA antagonist model of psychosis

The discrepancy between the behavioral and functional imaging outcome indicates that pharmacological fMRI might be a sensitive tool to detect drug-modulated blood oxygenation level-dependent signal changes in the absence of behavioral abnormalities.

Abnormal inhibition of return: A review and new data on patients with parietal lobe damage

The hypothesis that a spatial “disengagement deficit” (DD) contributed to the pattern of impaired IOR in the ipsilesional field of parietal patients is investigated and interpreted in terms of unilateral parietal damage leading to an imbalance of the relative salience of signals represented in a spatial map for directing attention.

The ventral premotor cortex (vPM) and resistance to interference.

It is suggested that the FO is necessary for the direct control of interference, but its lesion alone is not enough to disturb spatial orienting processes or active maintenance of task priorities.

Monte Carlo simulations and fMRI studies of human subjects have been used to verify that this approach can improve statistical power by as much as fivefold over techniques that rely solely on adjusting per pixel false positive probabilities.

A PET study of visuospatial attention

PET findings indicate that parietal and frontal regions control different aspects of spatial selection, and the functional asymmetry in superior parietal cortex may be relevant for the pathophysiology of unilateral neglect.
