Fig. 7. The shared network for both narrative and argumentative thought.

Fig. 7

a The network layout of the shared brain network for narrative and argumentative thought using the force-directed graph drawing algorithm. It consisted of 88 edges. The color legend is the same as the one in Figs. 4, 5. b The distribution of 88 edges within and between brain systems, where each cell indicates the mean standardized effect size (SES) in the contrast between the intact and the scrambled conditions, i.e., the ratio of the sum of the SES to the number of the edges in the fully connected situation. As highlighted in the dotted box, most of the significant edges were within the control and the language systems. c The SES of the edges of all the conditions in contrast to the resting state within the control and the language systems. d The top 20 edges with the largest SES in the contrast between the intact and the scrambled conditions within the language and the control systems. In a, d the size of the nodes denotes the node degree of each brain area in the whole graph comprising 88 edges. The color of the nodes denotes to which brain system they belong. The width of the edges denotes the SES. Intra-system edges are in the color of that network; inter-system edges are in gray.
