Attention Network Stability

Meaning

Attention Network Stability denotes the consistent and reliable function of the brain’s interconnected neural systems responsible for selecting, sustaining, and shifting focus. This cognitive state reflects the efficient modulation of the alerting, orienting, and executive control networks. Maintaining stability is critical for high-level cognitive performance, including working memory and decision-making, and is highly sensitive to neuroendocrine fluctuations. Disruptions in hormonal balance, particularly involving cortisol and catecholamines, can significantly compromise the integrity and consistency of these networks.
