Studies on mechanisms of visual and auditory attention in temporal or spatial cueing paradigm
TLDR
Previous studies were summarized to investigate the mechanisms of exogenous inhibition of return and found that the visually induced spatial or temporal orienting of attention were associated with common neural correlates, such as fronto-parietal network.
Lateralized alpha activity and slow potentials shifts over visual cortex track the time course of both endogenous and exogenous orienting of attention
TLDR
Data indicate that distinct slow-wave ERPs index the spatial orienting of endogenous and exogenous attention, while lateralized alpha activity represents a common signature of visual enhancement in anticipation of potential targets across both types of attention.
Evidence for shared resources in visuospatial attention: Endogenous attention misleads the decoding of exogenous attention in alpha rhythms
TLDR
The researchers conclude that both forms of visuospatial orienting are supported by several overlapping neural processes, which implies shared neural resources between them and further demonstrate that the dynamics of exogenous and endogenous attention are characterized by limited processing resources.
Reorienting Spatial Attention within Visual Working Memory
TLDR
Traditional considered bottom-up attentional processing induced by exogenous cues rapidly engages top-down signals from the frontal cortex, which leads to stronger behavioral benefits compared with the benefits produced by endogenous cues under the low load condition.
Where: Human Attention Networks and Their Dysfunctions After Brain Damage
Attention is conceived as a heterogeneous set of processes, which allow us to select and act on external or internal sources of information and produce coherent behavior, taking into account both our…
On the role of the ventral attention system in spatial orienting
TLDR
A more time-resolved technique, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), was used to explore the functional contribution of attentional regions during exogenous attentional orienting elicited by non-predictive peripheral cues, and observed that TMS interference on either the right IPS or the right TPJ prevented the expected occurrence of contralateral IOR at the long SOA.
Automatic visuospatial attention shifts : perceptual correlates, interventions and oscillatory signatures
TLDR
There appears to be strong interplay between endogenous control and exogenously driven attention processes, and one approach to achieve this is by manipulating both types of attention simultaneously instead of in separation, as illustrated in the present work.
Differential Effects of endogenous and exogenous attention on sensory tuning
TLDR
Assessing whether and how endogenous and exogenous attention differentially alter the representation of two basic visual dimensions: orientation and spatial frequency (SF) found differences in the strength of the gain.
Endogenous attention modulates the temporal window of integration
TLDR
Results are consistent with the hypothesis that endogenous attention can influence both of these opposing temporal processes in a flexible manner and have implications for arbitrating between accounts of the multiple modulatory mechanisms comprising selective attention.

Neural networks underlying endogenous and exogenous visual–spatial orienting
Determinants and mechanisms of attentional modulation of neural processing.
TLDR
This review contrasts the most-studied variety of attention, visuospatial attention, with several types of nonspatial visual attention, and concludes that cellular processes, brain circuits and neurotransmitter components can and should be incorporated into models of attention.
Interactions between endogenous and exogenous attention on cortical visual processing
Neural bases of the interactions between spatial attention and conscious perception.
TLDR
It is concluded that spatial orienting to peripheral stimuli, subserved by frontoparietal attentional networks, plays a major role in determining the content of the conscious experience.
Neural mechanisms of top-down control during spatial and feature attention
Endogenous and exogenous attention shifts are mediated by the same large-scale neural network
Dissociating inhibition of return from endogenous orienting of spatial attention: Evidence from detection and discrimination tasks
TLDR
It is concluded that IOR cannot be accounted for solely by the “reorienting of attention” hypothesis, and the observed time course differences in cueing effects between detection and discrimination tasks cannot be explained by attention disengaging from cues later in discrimination than in detection tasks, as proposed by Klein (2000).

TLDR
In cases of mid-brain degeneration due to progressive supranuclear palsy, saccadic movements were abolished, while covertorienting still occurs, however, covert orienting was found to be delayed in directions in which eye movements were most affected, suggesting a role for mid- brain pathways in covert Orienting.
Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain
TLDR
Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.
