In this work, we test the neural basis of the understanding of narrative and argumentative thought via inter-subject correlational measures in fMRI. We find that both kinds of thought enhance functional couplings within the frontoparietal control system. However, while a narrative specifically implicates the default mode system, an argument specifically induces synchronization between the intraparietal sulcus and multiple perisylvian areas in the language system.
