Activation of Right Ventral Prefrontal Cortex Using a Predictive Cue during Visual Spatial Orienting of Attentional Processes: An fMRI Study

Figure 2

SPM results of (a) Directional task (𝑃<0.01, uncorrected, cluster size > 0 voxels) and (b) Nondirectional task (𝑃<0.01, uncorrected, cluster size > 0 voxels). A bilateral frontoparietal network is shown as a result of the Directional task, which is the same as the VLPFC. (c) Brain activation obtained by contrasting the Directional task and the Nondirectional task. (d) Regional BOLD signal change based on anatomical masks. L/l: left hemisphere, R/r: right hemisphere, SPL: superior parietal lobule, IPL: inferior parietal lobule, FEF: frontal eye field; DLPFC: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, VLPFC: ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, MOG: middle occipital gyrus, MT+: middle temporal and superior temporal cortex, IFG: inferior frontal gyrus.

(a) Directional versus control (𝑃<0.01, uncorrected)

(b) Nondirectional versus control (𝑃<0.01, uncorrected)

(c) Directional versus Nondirectional (𝑃<0.01, uncorrected)

(d) Signal change based on anatomical regions
