Attention is distributed in time as well as space. Moreover, attention can be actively directed both within, and towards, time. This review article summarises behavioural and neuroanatomical correlates of temporal aspects of attention. Orienting attention to particular moments in time, or selectively attending to temporal rather than non-temporal stimulus features, improves behavioural measures of performance. These effects are accompanied by specific increases in activity of functionally specialised, and anatomically discrete, brain regions. Left parietal cortex is associated with orienting attention to specific moments in time. Pre-supplementary motor area (SMA) is associated with selectively attending to, and estimating, time. Frontal operculum is associated with all of these processes as well as being activated when attentional resources are limited by time itself. The frontal operculum therefore plays a pivotal role in the multi-faceted interaction between time and attention.
注意力在时间和空间上均有分布。此外，注意力能够在时间维度内以及朝向时间维度被主动引导。这篇综述文章总结了注意力时间方面的行为学和神经解剖学关联。将注意力导向特定的时刻，或者选择性地关注时间而非非时间刺激特征，能够改善行为表现的测量指标。这些效应伴随着功能特化且解剖学上离散的脑区活动的特定增加。左顶叶皮层与将注意力导向特定时刻相关。前补充运动区（SMA）与选择性地关注和估计时间相关。额盖与所有这些过程相关，并且在注意力资源受到时间本身限制时被激活。因此，额盖在时间与注意力之间的多方面相互作用中起着关键作用。
