Timing of spatial priming within the fronto-parietal attention network: A TMS study

Individual optimal attentional strategy during implicit motor learning boosts frontoparietal neural processing efficiency: A functional near‐infrared spectroscopy study

“…Previous studies have implicated activities of motor-related areas in focus of attention (Kuhn et al, 2016;Zentgraf et al, 2009;Zimmermann et al, 2012), while our current findings indicate that the right frontoparietal network also has an important function in determining the attentional strategy most suitable for individuals during a motor learning task. The prefrontal cortex (including the frontal eye field) and the parietal cortex are strongly interconnected by fibers passing through the superior longitudinal fasciculus (Makris et al, 2005), and the frontoparietal network does contribute to attention control (Corbetta & Shulman, 2002;Dosenbach et al, 2008;Kehrer et al, 2015). These top-down cognitive functions enable precise motor control for high performance, so it is reasonable to suggest that frontoparietal area function is also involved in determining individual optimal attentional strategy.…”

“…The motor-related areas are connected to the frontoparietal network (Dosenbach, Fair, Cohen, Schlaggar, & Petersen, 2008) such as projecting motor error information from the cerebellum to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Kelly & Strick, 2003). Moreover, the frontoparietal network also has been reported as an important region for attention control (Corbetta & Shulman, 2002;Dosenbach et al, 2008;Hu et al, 2013;Jerde & Curtis, 2013;Kehrer et al, 2015).…”

Neurobiological Approach of Catatonia and Treatment Perspectives

“…DLPFC will then project mainly on motor areas ( 22 ). It is therefore considered as a sensorimotor associative region bridging the gap between emotional cognitive perception and motor skills ( 23 ).…”

Effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on attention: Current debates, cognitive studies and novel clinical applications

“…We know that top-down control can modulate processing at target and distractor positions over a sequence of trials, leading to positive priming at prior target positions and negative priming at prior distractor positions. The exact time course, as well as the interplay of the right DLPFC and right PPC during spatial priming, is investigated precisely by (Kehrer et al, 2015) in their TMS study. They applied single TMS pulses over the right PPC, the right DLPFC or over the vertex (sham stimulation) at different time intervals after onset of a probe display, during a spatial negative priming paradigm.…”
