Psychophysiological mechanisms of attention and methods of correction of their disorders

Abstract
Relevance. The issues of attention regulation are considered one of the most difficult problems of psychophysiology. The role of attention in human life cannot be overestimated, since attention is involved in the perception of necessary information, as well as in the regulation of mental processes.
Intention. The aim is to analyze modern views on the psychophysiological mechanisms of attention and the prospects for etiopathogenetic correction of its disorders.
Methodology. A search for relevant research findings was conducted using the Russian Science Citation Index [https://elibrary.ru] and PubMed [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] databases for the last 10 years.
Results and their analysis. Analysis of the current literature reveals that, even after two centuries of studying attention, there are still significant gaps in knowledge in this field. Several hypothetical theories define attention mechanisms, but a consensus on the role of the central nervous system in its regulation remains elusive. Contemporary views on attention disorders and methods of their correction have been examined.
Conclusion. Due to the increasing frequency of attention disorders, there is a pressing need for more intensive research into the issue of attention correction.
