Neither the article nor the original paper spell this out explicitly, but I assume the link to depression has as much to do with the way the salience network expansion comes at the expense of other networks (like the cingulo-opercular and frontoparietal) as with the salience network itself. Like, you have a heightened awareness of what’s happening around you, but a reduced sense of agency or ability to react.
Holy shit this is exactly how I feel a lot of the time. Your sense of agency refers to your percieved ability to alter the outcome of an event, yes?
Yeah, pretty much.
