Frontoparietal Network (FPN):

Frontoparietal network (FPN), also known by cognitive control network, extrinsic mode Network, Central Executive Network (CEN), and Lateral Frontoparietal Network (L-FPN): FPN is one of several, highly interconnected brain networks, responsible for high-order executive functioning. It connects brain regions in the prefrontal and parietal cortices that modulate the sensitivity of neurons in sensory brain regions. FPN is one of the brain’s triple-network model (along with salience network and default mode network/ DMN). When altered, FPN is implicated in schizophrenia, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. It coordinates:

• Attention allocation or control, sending signals to determine the direction of attention. FPN selects spatial/non-spatial information to help with focus on objects and features. 
• Visual processing by interacting with the visual system (eyes, optic nerves, visual cortex) and actively interpreting visual information within a scene. FPN breaks down and understands what an object is by examining its features (shape, color, texture). 
• Goal-directed behavior to be rapid, accurate, and flexible and interact with other brain systems, such as the limbic and visual systems. 
• Problem-solving and working memory, especially in complex information processing.
