abstract = {Everyone knows what paying attention is, yet not everybody knows what
this means in cognitive and brain function terms. The attentive state can
be defined as a state of optimal activation that allows selecting the
sources of information and courses of action in order to optimize our
interaction with the environment in accordance with either the saliency
of the stimulation or internal goals and intentions. In this article we
argue that paying attention consists in tuning the mind with the environment
in a conscious and controlled mode in order to enable the strategic
and flexible adaptation of responses in accordance with internal motivations
and goals. We discuss the anatomy and neural mechanisms involved
in attention functions and present a brief overview of the neurocognitive
development of this seminal cognitive function on the grounds of self-regulated
behavior.
