《英语泛读教程4(第二版)》章节摘录[E]
Dogged focus
By combining attention tests with brain scanning techniques in normal people, and in peoplewith brain damage due to strokes and bullets, neurobiologists have identified which bits of thebrain are activated when a person pays attention. Others have investigated what happens to theability of a rodent or a monkey to focus when parts of their brains are lesioned, or when they aregiven drugs that block or enhance the effect of different neurotransmitters.
Gradually a coherent picture is emerging. Several areas in the brains prefrontal cortex9 areespecially important for attentional processing. Trevor Robins, an experiment psychologist at theUniversity of Cambridge, explains that in humans "when a task gets difficult, the anterior cingulategyrus10 [in the frontal lobe of the brain] seems to work overtime". The prefrontal cortex receivesand sends inputs to most of the rest of the cortex which, among other tasks, processes visual andauditory information and language. But the prefrontal cortex alone is responsible for "executive"functions such as strategic planning and the allocation of cognitive resources.
