The orienting attention network is responsible for directing our attention to different locations in visual space, allowing us to engage in visual search. It is primarily located in the parietal lobe. The executive attention network is responsible for allocating attentional resources to tasks, and is primarily located in the prefrontal cortex. The frontal attention system is a broad term that includes both the orienting and executive attention networks, as well as other attention-related functions. There is no such thing as the "lateral attention system."
