A note for Lesson no. 2, "Your Brain Is a Network," in Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context from page 30 is:
Your brain is a network—a collection of parts that are connected to function as a single unit.
A brain network is a loose collection of neurons that constantly join in and leave as the network functions.
There is a very large scientific literature on this topic. Some of my favorite work comes from the labs of Olaf Sporns[1] and Eve Marder.[2][3]
