The image displays four views of a person's brain, highlighting the boundaries between different functional brain networks, each represented by different colored lines, as mapped using functional MRI. This map is overlaid on a salience network connectivity heat map, where warmer colors indicate stronger connectivity within the salience network. Researchers discovered that a larger salience network may be associated with an increased risk of depression. Credit: Lynch/Liston Labs.
