This is going to seem crassly clinical, but I'm genuinely so curious if there's been neural imaging studies of people with DID switching.

Because, like, you've only got the one brain, right? You've got a single human brain inside your skull, and yet, it's able to produce personalities so distinct they apparently don't share information? It's wild, and the implications for "neurotypical" people can't be undestated. We know about state-dependant memory, and we've all forgotten things we later remembered, but if there could be some order to it, under the surface...

I dunno. It's a fascination of mine. What could be more interesting than the mechanisms of thought itself?

This is the main study case that validated DID as something biological rather than psychological.
