At the heart of the ventral attention system: The right anterior insula

Abstract: The anterior insula has been hypothesized to provide a link between attention-related problem solving and salience systems during the coordination of and evaluation of task performance. Here we test the hypothesis that the anterior insula/medial frontal operculum (aI/fO) provides linkage across systems supporting task demands and attention systems by examining patterns of functional connectivity during word recognition and spatial attention functional imaging tasks. A shared set of frontal regions (right aI/fO… Show more

“…Anterior insula has been implicated in salience processing (i.e., detecting salient stimuli in the external environment) (44,45) and in regulating shifts between introspective and extrospective modes of attention (44,46). Evidence for this proposal comes from structural imaging (44), fMRI studies using activation paradigms (e.g., oddball tasks) (47), functional and effective connectivity studies (46), and investigations using pharmacological manipulations (48).…”

“…In the ventral attention network, the insula also seems to regulate task assignment to frontal cortical regions accessing executive functions. This appears to be independent from the kind of stimuli (i.e., visual or auditory) or response (Eckert et al., 2009). In MS, insular atrophy is related to T2‐lesion load, functional connectivity, and network efficiency.…”

“…Right prefrontal and insular areas were reported to be engaged in response inhibition (Dambacher et al 2014;Eckert et al 2009). Thus, in addition to the focus on momentary experience, the increased right prefrontal and insular alpha activity also agrees with an increased executive control needed for upholding the detached non-discursive mental state during Zazen.…”
