      "Just reading this new paper by Lucina Uddin and felt like a quick post. It is a nice review of one of my favorite brain networks, the ever present insular cortex and ‘salience network’ (thalamus, AIC, MCC). As we all know AIC activation is one of the most ubiquitous in our field and generally shows up in everything. Uddin advances the well-supported idea that in addition to being sensitive to visceral, autonomic, bodily states (and also having a causal influence on them), the network responds generally to salient stimuli (like oddballs) across all sensory modalities. We already knew this but a thought leaped to my mind; what is the order of causation here?"
