- ## Overview
-  
-  
-    - Attention control network is a constellation of distributed brain networks processing attention to external stimuli and symbols
-          - Many aliases: Task-positive network, frontoparietal network, executive control network, and central executive network, each referring to subsets of the attention control network
-          - Terminology is not standard in the literature, and different authors use many of these terms interchangeably or to refer to different subsets of a broader attentional network
- ## Dorsal Attention Network
-  
-  
-    - Function: Voluntary control of attentional focus and goal-directed behavior
-    - Regions: Intraparietal sulcus, frontal eye fields, middle temporal, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
-          - Intraparietal sulcus
-                  - Weighting of sensory inputs: Direct control of relative "value" or "attention" to sensory stimuli
-                  - Topographically organized by stimulus modality and spatial location
-          - Frontal eye fields and supplementary eye fields
-                  - Control of direction of gaze to attentionally relevant stimuli
-          - Middle temporal (MT)
-                  - Motion perception, dynamic features of attention
-          - Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)
-                  - Shared with ventral attention network, representations of objects and symbols, working memory
- ## Ventral Attention Network
-  
-  
-    - Function: Control of reorienting to relevant stimuli, working memory
-    - Aliases: Frontoparietal control network, executive control network
-    - Regions: Supramarginal and angular gyri, inferior frontal gyrus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ventral anterior cingulate cortex
-          - Inferior parietal lobule (supramarginal and angular gyri)
-          - Inferior frontal gyrus
-          - DLPFC
-          - Ventral anterior cingulate cortex
- ## Salience Network
-  
-  
-    - Function: Detection of novel or salient stimuli
-    - Aliases: Novelty detection network, cingulo-opercular network
-    - Regions: Frontoinsula, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex
-          - Frontoinsula
-                  - "Sensory" arm of salience network
-                  - Mid superior insula: Detection of stimulus salience
-                  - Mid inferior insula: Detection of emotive salience
-                  - Anterior insula: Control of attention
-          - Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex
-                  - "Motor" arm of salience network
-                  - More anterior (pregenual) cingulate more associated with emotive salience, merges with ventral attention network
-
-# ANATOMY IMAGING ISSUES
-
- ## Imaging Recommendations
-  
-  
-    - Specific subnetworks may be activated by specific tasks (e.g., oddball task for salience network, n-back task for dorsal attention network)
- ## Imaging Pitfalls
-  
-  
-    - Many fMRI tasks have differential stimulus attention between active and control conditions
-          - Activation in attentional regions may not be task specific, but a general consequence of differential attention between conditions
- ## Network Relationships
-  
-  
-    - Attention control network is anticorrelated to default mode network: When one is active, the other tends to be less active
-          - Allows focus of attention to shift between external and internal stimuli
-          - Gradients of anticorrelation across the attention control network are seen with specific subregions of each network hub showing greatest anticorrelation
-    - Attentional regions typically located in association cortex in regions spatially "equidistant" from primary sensory areas
-          - Flow of information from primary sensory to unimodal sensory association cortex to polymodal association cortex
-
-# CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
-
- ## Clinical Importance
-  
-  
-    - Right-dominant network for attention in most individuals
-          - Lesions of right ventral attention network may produce hemispatial neglect
