DESCRIPTION:An understanding of how the brain produces cognition ultimatel
 y depends on knowledge of its large-scale organization and wiring. Despite
  recent progress in understanding large-scale brain connectivity\, mapping
  their relation to cognition remains a significant challenge. In this talk
 \, I describe these challenges and discuss recent advances in disentanglin
 g the role of core brain networks in cognition. A unifying triple network 
 model of salience and network switching is proposed and its role in attent
 ion and cognitive control will be examined. I then examine the development
  of core neurocognitive brain networks and discuss how the triple network 
 model can help synthesize extant findings of aberrant brain connectivity i
 nto a unified framework for understanding key features of several major ps
 ychopathologies.
