Feeling Distracted? Maybe all your brain needs is a splash of green
Stimulation by the color green activates a specific brain circuit called the Dorsal Attention Network (DAN). The DAN connects a region of the frontal lobe (part of the brain responsible for executive functions (decision making), with the frontal eye field (part of the brain responsible for awareness and attention to visual stimuli), the intraparietal sulcus (a part of the brain involved with abstract thought (such as mathematics) and determining the intentions of other people) and the visual cortex (part of the brain responsible for sight).
The DAN is responsible for keeping your attention focused on relevant objects, situations or goals. Functional connectivity within the DAN may be weakened or disrupted in a number of ways: for example, acute stress exposure and insomnia may wreak havoc within the DAN.
