Age-Related Changes in Hemispherical Specialization for Attentional Networks [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 Many cognitive functions face a decline in the healthy elderly. Within the cognitive domains, both attentional processes and executive functions are impaired with aging.

The resting-state causal human connectome is characterized by hub connectivity of executive and attentional networks [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2022 We demonstrate a data-driven approach for calculating a “causal connectome” of directed connectivity from resting-state fMRI data using a greedy adjacency search and pairwise non-Gaussian edge orientations.

The Impact of Interpreting Training Experience on the Attentional Networks and Their Dynamics [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2023 Interpreting, a complicated and demanding bilingual task, depends heavily on attentional control. However, few studies have focused on the interpreters’ advantages in attention, and the findings so far have been inconsistent.

Assessing the Three Attentional Networks and Vigilance in the Adolescence Stages [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2021 Attention involves three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct neural networks: alerting, orienting, and executive control. This study aimed to assess the attentional networks and vigilance in adolescents aged between 10 and 19 years using the ...

Exercise mode and attentional networks in older adults: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Previous studies have indicated that physical exercise enhances attentional function; however, the relationship between exercise mode and attentional networks has not been clarified for older adults (>60 years old).

Development of attentional networks during childhood and adolescence: A functional MRI study [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, 2022 Attention ability is one of the most important cognitive functions. It develops mainly during school age. However, the neural basis for the typical development of attentional functions has not been fully investigated.

Efficiency of attentional networks in musicians and non-musicians [PDF]
Heliyon, 2019 Music is a complex and properly human skill. Previous studies indicate that systematic musical training induces specific structural brain changes and improves audio-motor functions.

Attentional Networks in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2013 We tested the efficiency of three attentional systems (spatial orienting, phasic alerting and executive control) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), by using a modified version of the Attention Network Test, which employs acoustic tones to modulate phasic alertness.

Computer-Based Cognitive Training Improves Brain Functional Connectivity in the Attentional Networks: A Study With Primary School-Aged Children [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019 We have shown that a computer-based program that trains schoolchildren in cognitive tasks that mainly tap working memory (WM), implemented by teachers and integrated into school routine, improved cognitive and academic skills compared with an active ...
