The Salience Network
The top-down, “superior” view in this illustration shows the default mode network (daydreaming, prospection, empathy) correlating more with the right hemisphere, and the frontoparietal (aka task mode) network correlating more with the left hemisphere. These are from the article “The role of the salience network in cognitive and affective deficits” (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2023.1133367/full). The salience network, in the model the article supports, is as switch between the two. Trouble in switching correlates with many of the conditions McGilchrist addresses with the hemispheric hypothesis. This leads to the question of whether the hemispheric hypothesis and the triple network model described in this paper are essentially congruent.
