The 3D brain mapping of the seven core functional networks. Social and communication network (SCN, including typically named LAN and social network): spoken language to monitor one’s own speech and interpret the intentions, emotions, and beliefs of others during communication (pink). Self-awareness network (SAN, including typically named DMN and SN): enablers of individuals to use their internal resources - such as memory and self-awareness - to make decisions and behave by promoting reflective and independent thinking (blue). Cognitive flexibility network (CFN, typically named FPN): adaptation to changing circumstances and dynamically adjusting strategies to new information (khaki). Performance monitoring network (PMN, typically named CON): self-regulation and task performance improvement (green). Executive planning network (EPN, comparable to typically named and extended DAN): facilitation of adaptive behavior by enabling environment assessment, informed decisions, and effective goal-directed actions (brown). Somatomotor network (SMN): integration of sensory and motor functions, enabling movement, body awareness, and coordinated interaction with the surrounding environment (violet). Visual network (VN): perception, interpretation, and recognition of visual stimuli (orange).
