FIGURE 3.

Social Brain Atlas Level 3: Interaction Network. This figure shows the functional connectivity patterns of the Interaction Network (IN), based on data derived from Alcalá-López et al. (2017) (see also Table 1(C)). Graphical conventions are the same as Figure 1. The core nodes of the IN have been labeled as follows: Anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC); Bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG_L/R); Bilateral interior insula (AI_L/R); Bilateral supplementary motor area (SMA_L/R); Bilateral supramarginal gyrus (SMG_L/R; Bilateral posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS_L/R); Bilateral cerebellum (Cereb_L/R). The IN is the third processing level of the social brain connectome. It contains core hubs of the Salience Network, which weighs internal states against incoming sensory information to regulate social behavior. It also mediates mirroring behaviors and empathy. The IN plays a key role in interpreting incoming sensory information based on current behavioral goals, and more particularly, in assigning salience (significance) to art and creative output.
