Journal ArticleDOI
Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain
TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A default mode of brain function.
Marcus E. Raichle,Ann Mary MacLeod,Abraham Z. Snyder,William J. Powers,Debra A. Gusnard,Gordon L. Shulman +5 more
TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Reorienting System of the Human Brain: From Environment to Theory of Mind
TL;DR: While originally conceptualized as a system for redirecting attention from one object to another, recent evidence suggests a more general role in switching between networks, which may explain recent evidence of its involvement in functions such as social cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medial prefrontal cortex and self-referential mental activity: Relation to a default mode of brain function
TL;DR: The presence of self-referential mental activity appears to be associated with increases from the baseline in dorsal MPFC, and reductions in ventral MPFC occurred consistent with the fact that attention-demanding tasks attenuate emotional processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common blood flow changes across visual tasks: Ii. decreases in cerebral cortex
Gordon L. Shulman,Julie A. Fiez,Maurizio Corbetta,Randy L. Buckner,Francis M. Miezin,Marcus E. Raichle,Steven E. Petersen +6 more
TL;DR: Nine previous positron emission tomography studies of human visual information processing were reanalyzed to determine the consistency across experiments of blood flow decreases during active tasks relative to passive viewing of the same stimulus array.
