ACC : ok, been looking for an inbetween thing; looking at toothpicks when i needed the forest; here’s the
“SALIENCE NETWORK” and it __switches__
between the DEFAULT MODE NETWORK (relatively unconscious)
and CENTRAL EXECUTIVE NETWORK (conscious)
Been tripping over it not noticing it, probably because I’ve been skeptical about these networks, likely because I’ve seen different networks implicated; but once a bunch of stuff I saw could be localized in the ACC (the dorsal ACC but ACC is fine), THEN and only then could I zoom out and see what it was all a part of. I knew it had to be more than the motor system but it had to be linked to it – and it couldn’t JUST to straight to the prefrontal cortex (because what about the default mode network, where I naturally seem to hang around a lot in?) – and this seems to have the studies and now that i look at a picture, seems to have the location too.
I’m still not at 100% but my confidence level keeps growing.
