Functional Connectivity of the Dorsal and Ventral Attention Network and Its Role in Attentional Disengagement

These findings underscore the role of VAN over DAN in attentional disengagement, emphasizing the right IFG and SMG in reorienting attention. Greater connectivity with occipito-temporal regions may hinder disengagement, while enhanced functional connectivity with medial cortical areas facilitates adaptive shifts in attention. This study highlights the importance of intrinsic VAN-DAN interactions in shaping attentional control and provides insights into the neural mechanisms underlying disengagement efficiency.
