The dorsal attention network (DAN), also known anatomically as the dorsal frontoparietal network (D-FPN), is a large-scale brain network of the human brain that is primarily composed of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and frontal eye fields (FEF).

The dorsal attention network is associated with orienting and maintaining attention toward relevant external information, including that processed by visual network, and is comprised of brain regions within the intraparietal sulcus and frontal eye fields (Corbetta and Shulman, 2002;

The following paragraph shall outline the critical nodes of the dorsal and ventral attention network and describe their functional and structural anatomy. Figure 1 provides a schematic overview over the components of both systems as well as putative candidate connections for their interaction.

Attention network theory distinguishes three independent systems, each supported by its own distributed network: an alerting network to deploy attentional resources in anticipation, an orienting network to direct attention to a cued location, and a ...

The dorsal attention network (DAN) is engaged during externally directed attentional tasks and comprised functionally connected brain regions including visual motion area, frontal eye fields, superior parietal lobule, intraparietal sulcus, and ventral premotor cortex.

2022年12月7日 · The dorsal attention network (DAN) encodes and maintains preparatory signals and modulates top-down sensory (visual, auditory, olfactory and somatosensory) regions.

2010年9月9日 · Experimental neurophysiology and functional neuroimaging have identified a dorsal attention network that encodes neural signals related to the behavioral significance of a stimulus.

2019年11月1日 · In this study, we investigated the role of the DAN in distracter suppression by dynamically modifying the priority of visual information (target > high priority distracter > low priority distracter) based on features only.

In this review, we will reconcile these theoretical ideas on the dorsal and ventral attentional system with recent empirical findings from human neuroimaging experiments and studies in stroke patients.

2016年6月1日 · The “dorsal attention network” or “frontoparietal network” refers to a network of cortical regions that support sustained attention and working memory.
