Left and right temporal-parietal junctions (TPJs) as “match/mismatch” hedonic machines: A unifying account of TPJ function
2022, Physics of Life ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Discovering functional-related variations in the presence and degree of the match/mismatch hemispheric lateralisation might improve the theoretical coherence of our hypothesis or, otherwise, lead to its reformulation. As an example, we have noted [110] that the left TPJ seems specifically involved in detecting mismatching invalid targets in the right side of space. However, one could still argue whether the match and neuronal mismatch populations in the left TPJ play a specific role in a typically left hemispheric function, like language.
The functions of the temporal–parietal junction
2022, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyLarge-scale brain networks underlying non-spatial attention updating: Towards understanding the function of the temporoparietal junction
2020, CortexCitation Excerpt :It is important to note, however, that this contrast does not differentiate between benefits and costs of cueing, based on the implicit assumption that these are two sides of the same coin. The inclusion of neutral trials in studies of spatial attention showed that the benefits and costs of cueing could partially rely on different neural mechanisms (Doricchi et al., 2010; Dragone et al., 2015; Lasaponara, Chica, Lecce, Lupianez, & Doricchi, 2011; Silvetti et al., 2016). Thus, along with the comparison of invalid and valid trials, we contrasted these two types of trials with the neutral condition.
Lateralization, functional specialization, and dysfunction of attentional networks
2020, CortexCitation Excerpt :The dorsal and the ventral networks do not work in isolation. For instance, the contrast of invalid versus valid trials in the spatial cueing paradigm often activates both ventral and dorsal areas (Doricchi et al., 2010; Dragone et al., 2015; Kincade et al., 2005; Vossel et al., 2012; Wen et al., 2012), suggesting an interplay between the two systems for efficient deployment of attention. As far as the anatomical connectivity is concerned, frontal and parietal regions of the attentional networks are interconnected by different tracts of the SLF (Thiebaut de Schotten et al., 2011).
