Vigilant Attention (VA), defined as the ability to maintain attention to cognitively unchallenging activities over a prolonged period of time, is critical to support higher cognitive functions and many behaviours in our everyday life. Evidence has shown that VA rapidly improves throughout childhood and adolescence until young adulthood and tends to decline in older adulthood. Although neuroimaging studies have extensively investigated this cognitive function in adults, the neural correlates of VA in neurotypical children and adolescents remain unclear. The current meta-analysis reviewed and examined functional neuroimaging studies in paediatric populations that used behavioural tasks involving VA. The selected studies (N = 25) were analyzed using the activation likelihood estimation method. Findings showed convergence of activation in mainly right-lateralized brain areas, including dorsomedial frontal cortex and parieto-temporal areas, and are consistent with previous literature on the neural correlates of VA. Results are discussed in terms of their functional and developmental implications for VA in children and adolescents.

儿童和青少年警惕性神经相关性的荟萃分析

警惕性注意力(VA)定义为能够长时间保持对无挑战性认知活动的注意力的能力,对于支持我们日常生活中更高的认知功能和许多行为至关重要。有证据表明,VA在整个儿童期和青春期迅速改善,直至成年,而成年后往往下降。尽管神经影像学研究已经广泛研究了成年人的这种认知功能,但在典型的儿童和青少年中,VA的神经相关性仍不清楚。当前的荟萃分析审查并检查了使用涉及VA的行为任务的小儿人群的功能性神经影像学研究。使用激活可能性估计方法对所选研究(N = 25)进行分析。研究结果表明,激活主要集中在右脑区域,包括背侧额叶皮层和顶颞叶区域,并且与先前有关VA神经相关性的文献一致。就其对儿童和青少年VA的功能和发育意义进行了讨论。
