DESCRIPTION:Executive control processes and flexible behaviors rely on the
  integrity of\, and dynamic interactions between\, large-scale functional 
 brain networks. The right insular cortex is a critical component of a sali
 ence/midcingulo-insular network that is thought to mediate interactions be
 tween brain networks involved in externally oriented (central executive/la
 teral frontoparietal network) and internally oriented (default mode/medial
  frontoparietal network) processes. How these brain systems reconfigure wi
 th development is a critical question for cognitive neuroscience\, with im
 plications for neurodevelopmental pathologies affecting brain connectivity
 . I will describe studies examining how brain network dynamics support fle
 xible behaviors in typical and atypical development\, presenting evidence 
 suggesting a unique role for the dorsal anterior insular from studies of m
 eta-analytic connectivity modelling\, dynamic functional connectivity\, an
 d structural connectivity. These findings from adults\, typically developi
 ng children\, and children with autism suggest that structural and functio
 nal maturation of insular pathways is a critical component of the process 
 by which human brain networks mature to support complex\, flexible cogniti
 ve processes throughout the lifespan
