OVERVIEW
Critical appraisal of the proposed functions of the (right) IPL in existing models of dorsal-ventral stream dichotomy.
Review evidence that shows the right IPL plays an important role in two different, but broadly complementary, aspects of attention: 1. Maintaining attentive control on current task
goals2. Responding to salient new information or
alerting stimuli in the environment. Singh-Curry & Husain’s proposal of IPL
function
4
DORSAL–VENTRAL VISUAL STREAM DICHOTOMY MILNER & GOODALE (1995)
“Vision for action”
“Vision for
perception”
5
THE POSITION OF THE IPL IN MILNER & GOODALE’S DORSAL–VENTRAL
DICHOTOMY
In humans, the D-S terminates in the SPL & IPS. The IPL isn’t part of the dorsal stream!
High-level spatial representational system that subserves perceptual awareness?
Explains object-centered neglect (rare!), but not impairments of egocentric spatial representation, directing attention or planning movements.
Non-spatial cognitive process in neglect?
6
RIZZOLATTI & MATELLI’S TWO DORSAL STREAM MODEL (2003)
D-S is formed by 2 sub-systems: o Dorso-Dorsal stream
(≈ Milner & Goodale D-S, includes SPL)o Ventro-Dorsal stream
Right IPL - spatial perception & action
Left IPL - action recognition, grasping & manipulation
Hemi-neglect
Limb apraxia
Direct homologies between all parts of macaque and human parietal cortex? hemispheric asymmetry, expanded IPS and IPL…
Addresses apraxia and neglectx non-spatial components of neglect
7
CORBETTA AND SHULMAN’S GOAL-DIRECTED AND STIMULUS-DRIVEN STREAMS (2002)
Dorsal fronto-parietal network
Top-Down, goal-directed Includes SPL, IPS,
Dorsal frontal cortex
Ventral fronto-parietal network
Bottom-Up, stimulus-driven
Includes TPJ, IPL, ventral frontal cortex
lateralised to the RH
But – the IPL is implicated in sustained attention!!

ROLE OF RIGHT IPL IN VIGILANCE &SUSTAINING ATTENTION
Vigilance
Sustained
Attention
Intensity continuum
Both require Top-down processes!
Converging evidence comes from both functional imaging studies in healthy subjects as well lesion studies with RH patients.

11 studies Healthy
subjects Detection of
rare events at single locations/ CPT
Various sensory modalities
VIGILANCE & SUSTAINED ATTENTION: META-ANALYSIS OF PET & FUNCTIONAL
MRI STUDIES
10
VIGILANCE & SUSTAINED ATTENTION: LESION STUDY
44 RH stroke patients, with or without neglect A non-spatial task of auditory sustained
attention.
Robertson, I. H. et al., Neuropsychologia,1997

SALIENCE DETECTION & PHASIC ALERTING
Salience: stimulus properties which make it stand out from the background. Novelty Behavioral or Target-related salience Phasic alerting – a warning of an event of a
behavioral significance
Not only bottom up! (as Corbetta & Shuman claims)
12
TARGET RELATED SALIENCE: META-ANALYSIS
10 studies, oddball paradigm at single location, various sensory modalities
Activation foci: RH IPL, IPS, TPJ & frontal regions
Reduced P3 in Neglect patientsDetection of target-related salience requires both ‘top-down’ (discriminating targets from non-targets) as well as ‘bottom-up’ processes!
13
NOVELTY: META-ANALYSIS 5 studies, oddball
paradigm Healthy subjects various sensory
modalities More posterior
activation; involves IPL, TPJ, ventral frontal lobe
Detection of novel events requires both ‘top-down’ (memory of target/previously seen stimuli is necessary) as well as ‘bottom-up’ processes!
14
PHASIC ALERTING: META ANALYSIS Readiness to detect/ respond to
environmental changes occurring as a result of an exogenous warning stimulus
2 studies RH IPL, TPJ
15
THE PROCESS OF RECONFIGURATION Task switching (rule shift, motor response) Study paradigms vary in processes required as
well as working memory load. A variety of bilateral frontal & parietal foci of
activation are found in such studies. What are the critical regions underlying
reconfiguration?
16
RECONFIGURATION: META-ANALYSIS
In conjunction analysis only the RH IPL & ventral frontal cortex were activated.
Buchsbaum, B. R. et al., Human Brain Mapping, 2005
17
RECONFIGURATION & LC NA SYSTEM
P300 is associated with task switching & with phasic activity of LC NA system
LC phasic activity: facilitates focused selective responding, goal-focused state
LC tonic activity: distractibility, exploration, responses to novel environment stimuli
18
IPL & LC
PPC receives sensory, motor, goal-related and reward information.
Different types of information may compete LC Signals biasing the outcome
19
SINGH-CURRY & HUSAIN’ PROPOSAL: ROLE OF RIGHT IPL IN CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR
Right IPL: Detection of salient stimuli in the
environment Sustaining attention on task goalsFlexibly switching between these modes via NA system
Lesions may exacerbate spatial biases
Left IPL: Functions underpinning limb praxis
IPL is a crucial node in the fronto-parietal system of allocating resources optimally.
