Despite a constant deluge of sensory stimulation, only a fraction of it is used to guide behavior. This selective processing is generally referred to as attention, and much research has focused on the neural mechanisms controlling it. Recently, research has broadened to include more ways by which different species selectively process sensory information, whether due to the sensory input itself or to different behavioral and brain states. This work has produced a complex and disjointed body of evidence across different species and forms of attention. However, it has also provided opportunities to better understand the breadth of attentional mechanisms. Here, we summarize the evidence that suggests that different forms of selective processing are supported by mechanisms both common and distinct.

常见和不同的注意神经机制

尽管感官刺激不断涌现，但只有一小部分用于指导行为。这种选择性处理通常称为注意力，许多研究都集中在控制它的神经机制上。最近，研究范围已扩大到包括不同物种选择性处理感官信息的更多方式，无论是由于感官输入本身还是由于不同的行为和大脑状态。这项工作产生了跨不同物种和注意力形式的复杂且脱节的证据。然而，它也提供了更好地理解注意力机制广度的机会。在这里，我们总结了证据，表明不同形式的选择性加工受到共同和独特机制的支持。
