Summary: Endogenous attention is controlled by dorsal fronto-parietal brain areas, but can also be modulated by a control attention area located in the temporal lobe. This area is functionally distinct and connected to parietal and frontal attentional regions, suggesting a different organizing principle for cognitive control.

Summary: Individuals with developmental dyslexia often have difficulty in simultaneously processing multiple visual elements. However, the relationship between impaired visual simultaneous processing (VSP) and reading difficulty is still debated. This study examined the VSP capacity of children with dyslexia in the context of Chinese language and found that they exhibited delayed and atypical patterns in perceptual processing speed and attentional weight compared to normal readers.

Summary: This study provides evidence for distinct neural circuits corresponding to visual attention span (VAS) and phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia. The findings suggest that structural connectivity of different brain networks is associated with individual differences in VAS and phonological processing accuracy in dyslexic children.

Summary: Action video game players demonstrate advantages in orienting and executive control when facing conflicting stimuli, while non-action video game players may have weakened disengagement ability in visual tasks. There are more correlations among attentional functions in action video game players, and the alerting functions of action video game players in visual and auditory tasks are significantly related.

Summary: Although learning disorders and developmental language disorder have overlapping characteristics, they are currently diagnosed separately. The extent to which they have overlapping or distinct neural signatures is still uncertain. Identifying neural markers/endophenotypes is important for developing diagnostic tools and understanding disorders across different dimensions.

Summary: Attentional control of auditory N100/M100 gain is reduced in individuals with first-episode psychosis (FEP). Persistent problems with executive modulation of auditory sensory activity may impact multiple aspects of psychosis. Our study found deficits in attentional M100 gain modulation in auditory cortex in FEP, and these deficits improved over time along with symptom severity.

Summary: The study found that in functional tremor, the attentional focus on ongoing visual feedback from the movement is not beneficial and has a detrimental impact on motor performance. This altered attentional focus may partly responsible for functional tremor, and it also worsens motor performance in healthy control participants and patients with an organic action tremor when directed towards visual feedback.

Summary: The study revealed that early-blind subjects show advantages in dichotic listening and temporal sequencing ability compared to sighted subjects. These advantages may be due to enhanced activity of the central auditory nervous system, especially the right hemisphere function, and the transfer of auditory information between the two hemispheres.

Summary: Fearful faces may be processed preferentially compared to neutral faces, but it is uncertain whether this depends on temporal attentional resources. The results of the experiments suggest that the processing advantage of fear is modulated by the difficulty of the first target task.

Summary: Recent work has shown that neural representations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are changing to adapt to task demands, but it is still unclear how this dynamic coding depends on the encoded variable and anatomical constraints. In this study, using a cued attention task and multivariate classification methods, the researchers found that neuronal ensembles in the PFC encode and retain spatial and color attentional instructions in a specific manner. Spatial instructions were decoded from both the frontal eye field (FEF) and the ventrolateral PFC (vlPFC) populations, while color instructions were decoded more robustly from vlPFC. The results suggest that dynamic population coding of attentional instructions in the PFC is influenced by anatomical constraints and can coexist with stable subspace coding.

Summary: In this study, it was found that adults with developmental dyslexia exhibit slower mechanisms in using exogenous attention orienting and abnormal responses at farther peripheral distances. Dyslexics also showed attentional facilitation deficits above 12 degrees of eccentricity, indicating a deficit in attentional engagement at far periphery.

Summary: This study used fMRI to investigate how attention modulates neural representations of goal-relevant stimuli in the brain. The results showed that when two objects are simultaneously viewed, the category of the attended object can be more readily decoded. After accounting for stimulus-driven variance, the correlation in residual brain activity between a cortical region and a category-selective region of VTC was higher when the preferred category was attended. This correlation was particularly strong in the right occipital, parietal, and frontal cortices. Furthermore, stronger residual correlations between a given region and VTC were associated with better visual category information decoding.

Summary: This study investigates the potential differences in processing speed and neural correlates among the three variants of Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). The findings reveal that non-verbal cognitive abilities, such as processing speed, are significantly impacted in nfvPPA and lvPPA patients compared to healthy controls and svPPA patients. Neuroimaging results confirm the importance of fronto-parietal regions associated with processing speed and executive control.

Summary: Procrastination has adverse effects on personal growth and social development. Reward sensitivity is positively correlated with procrastination. This study used VBM and RSFC analyses to investigate the neural substrates underlying the association between reward sensitivity and procrastination. The results showed that the functional connectivity of the right parahippocampal gyrus-precuneus mediated the relationship between reward sensitivity and procrastination.

Summary: Cholinergic (Ach), Noradrenergic (NE), and Dopaminergic (DA) pathways are crucial in regulating spatial attention and determining inter-individual differences in temperamental traits. This study found that temperamental traits predict individual differences in the ability to orient spatial attention based on the probabilistic association between cues and targets. These findings highlight the importance of considering temperamental and personality traits in social and professional environments where attention control is essential.

Summary: The processing of numerals as visual objects is supported by an Inferior Temporal Numeral Area (ITNA) in the bilateral inferior temporal gyri (ITG). Extant findings suggest some degree of hemispheric asymmetry in how the bilateral ITNAs process numerals. The study found that digit sensitivity did not differ between ITNAs, and digit sensitivity in both left and right ITNAs was associated with calculation skills. The study also revealed a right lateralization in engagement in alphanumeric categorization, and that the right ITNA showed greater discriminability between digits and letters.

Summary: The fiber dissection technique has been used to study the internal structures of the brain, with less focus on white matter. The sagittal stratum, a white matter structure, has not received enough attention and has been a subject of controversy. Recent studies suggest potential functions of the sagittal stratum, emphasizing the importance of understanding this structure accurately.

Summary: This study compared the effects of auditory and visual motion stimulation on spatial neglect and found that both interventions were equally effective in improving neglect. Multimodal motion stimulation also improved neglect, but did not show greater improvement than unimodal auditory or visual motion stimulation alone.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between search slopes and search efficiency in visual search tasks, introduces the Target Contrast Signal (TCS) Theory, and extends it to a Bayesian multi-level framework. The findings demonstrate that TCS can predict data well, but distinguishing between contrast combination models proves to be difficult.
