The frontoparietal network, indicated by the arrow, extending from the dorsolateral frontal (DLPFC) cortex to the parietal cortex (PC) is a control hub involved in Systems Thinking (ST), observational learning. This region also overlaps with the putative mirror neuron system extending from the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) to the inferior parietal lobule (IPL). The network between the DLPFC and nucleus accumbens (NAc) mediates reward processing and motivation which is important for observational learning. DLPFC is also linked with pro-environmental behaviour. Source: Image of Brain produced using 3D Brain (brainfacts.org).
