What is Salience? Vincent Boswijk and Matt Coler at Open Linguistics (pdf)
...Either salience is not a scientific concept, in which case it may be considered as, for example, a heuristic which is used differently across and within scientific disciplines or else salience is a scientific concept, in which case the concept should have a terminological definition. But how can that terminological definition be identified? Since salience is used in contradictory ways within linguistics, this topic deserves consideration....Like any word, term or concept, salience has no "intrinsic" or absolute meaning. The meaning of salience depends entirely on contrast with other words and concepts. To arrive at an understanding, we must connect the signified and signifier in the linguistic texts in which the term is used and identify all the signifiers for salience across all the texts, considering the context of use alongside related concepts.
The Salience Network: A Neural System for Perceiving and Responding to Homeostatic Demands William W. Seeley at Journal of Neuroscience (2019)
The term “salience network” refers to a suite of brain regions whose cortical hubs are the anterior cingulate and ventral anterior insular (i.e., frontoinsular) cortices. This network, which also includes nodes in the amygdala, hypothalamus, ventral striatum, thalamus, and specific brainstem nuclei, coactivates in response to diverse experimental tasks and conditions, suggesting a domain-general function. In the 12 years since its initial description, the salience network has been extensively studied,...In this paper, which makes no attempt to comprehensively review this literature, I describe the circumstances surrounding the initial discovery, conceptualization, and naming of the salience network, highlighting aspects that may be unfamiliar to many readers.

...the Salience Network serves as the brain's emotional hub, orchestrating signals that influence our actions, emotions, and reactions. Understanding this essential network offers critical insights into various psychological conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD....a complex but essential part of our brain's architecture, serving as a crucial decision-making hub for identifying and prioritizing importance in any given situation. Think of it as the brain's executive assistant, sifting through a constant stream of sensory information, thoughts, and emotions to prioritize what deserves our immediate attention. By acting as a cognitive-emotional filter, the Salience Network ensures that only the most pertinent information reaches our conscious awareness, tailored to our current needs or emotional state.
Think of your brain as the ultimate computer; within that computer, specific regions act like the CPU or the "boss" of the system. Located in the anterior cingulate and insular cortices, these bosses are essential because they help you manage your emotions and decide what to pay attention to. They allow you to prioritize what's going on in your life, whether it's choosing how you feel or what you need to think about.
