Wernicke's area, located in the left hemisphere of the brain, is primarily responsible for language comprehension, including understanding spoken and written language.

Broca's area, located in the left hemisphere of the brain, is primarily responsible for language production, including speech production and grammar.

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, located in the frontal lobe, is involved in the integration of language and attention, allowing for the selection and manipulation of relevant information.

The angular gyrus, located at the junction of the parietal and temporal lobes, is involved in semantic processing, including the understanding of word meanings and concepts.

Attention plays a crucial role in language processing by enhancing the processing of relevant information, suppressing the processing of irrelevant information, and modulating the activity of brain regions involved in language processing.

The neural correlate of attention involves increased neural activity in the attended region, decreased neural activity in the unattended region, and synchronization of neural activity across brain regions.

Noradrenaline (norepinephrine) is the primary neurotransmitter involved in attentional processes, particularly in alerting and orienting attention.

The basal ganglia play a crucial role in attention by selecting relevant information, inhibiting irrelevant information, and switching between different tasks.

The cerebellum contributes to attention by coordinating eye movements, hand movements, and cognitive processes, allowing for efficient and focused attention.

The thalamus plays a crucial role in attention by relaying sensory information to the cerebral cortex and modulating the activity of brain regions involved in attention.

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is involved in the sustained attention to a task, maintaining focus and concentration over time.

The anterior cingulate cortex plays a crucial role in attention by detecting errors and conflicts and adjusting behavior in response to errors.

Mindfulness meditation has been shown to enhance sustained attention, reduce mind wandering, and improve attentional control.

The attentional blink is a phenomenon in which the perception of a second target is impaired when it is presented shortly after the first target. The neural basis of the attentional blink is thought to involve inhibition of visual processing in the primary visual cortex.

The brain prioritizes the processing of different stimuli by attending to the most salient, relevant, and novel stimuli.
