Over the last century, various psychological theories converge on the idea that identity is not a singular entity, but rather a collection of sometimes conflicting components. These components are termed self-states, archetypes, or parts by different theorists. Recent advances in neuroscience show that individual brain regions form networks that coordinate mental functions, allowing for adaptability. The study of network neuroscience provides insights into how these networks function, revealing the biological underpinnings of these psychological theories, including the dynamics of emotional regulation and mental shifts.
For over a century, different psychological theories have converged on the understanding that the self is not singular, but a complex amalgamation of various parts.
Modern network neuroscience reveals that distinct brain regions collaborate within networks, enabling complex mental functions and influencing our adaptive responses to the environment.
