DESCRIPTION:Note that this talk is happening at 16:00 BST instead of the u
 sual 15:00 BST time. \n\n\nExecutive control processes and flexible behavi
 ors rely on the integrity of\, and dynamic interactions between\, large-sc
 ale functional brain networks. The right insular cortex is a critical comp
 onent of a salience/midcingulo-insular network that is thought to mediate 
 interactions between brain networks involved in externally oriented (centr
 al executive/lateral frontoparietal network) and internally oriented (defa
 ult mode/medial frontoparietal network) processes. How these brain systems
  reconfigure with development is a critical question for cognitive neurosc
 ience\, with implications for neurodevelopmental pathologies affecting bra
 in connectivity. I will describe studies examining how brain network dynam
 ics support flexible behaviors in typical and atypical development\, prese
 nting evidence suggesting a unique role for the dorsal anterior insular fr
 om studies of meta-analytic connectivity modeling\, dynamic functional con
 nectivity\, and structural connectivity. These findings from adults\, typi
 cally developing children\, and children with autism suggest that structur
 al and functional maturation of insular pathways is a critical component o
 f the process by which human brain networks mature to support complex\, fl
 exible cognitive processes throughout the lifespan.
