Neuronal Networks: The Attention Networks
08/24/22 • 12 min
Today, I am going to explore the Attention Networks, which are the parts of our brain that get really excited when, for example, we see something that we have never seen before, something that appears to be moving on its own volition (and might harm us), something that appears out of place (like an eyeball on the floor), or something that reminds us of something we really want (I’ll let you pick the example).

PsyDactic - Neuronal Networks: The Attention Networks
Transcript
Welcome to PsyDactic - Residency edition. I am Dr. O’Leary, a 3rd year psychiatry resident in the National Capital Region. Every week I try to come up with a new and creative way to give the disclaimer that, even though I am a doctor, I’m only human. This podcast will never rise to the level of peer reviewed articles. I don’t have the time or funding source for that. I am a resident psychiatrist, so no institution in their right mind would let me speak for them without strict oversight.
