Recent advancements in neuroscience have unveiled new insights into the neural processes responsible for self-referential cognition. This research has brought particular attention to a critical neural ...

When we daydream or revisit memories, a large group of regions within our brain “lights up,” or becomes more active. It's referred to as the Default Mode Network (DMN) because it is more active when ...

As you read this, in the background—or perhaps the foreground—is the wandering mind. This basal activity may be best represented in current neuroscience by the Default Mode Network (DMN). The DMN is ...

When your mind is wandering, your brain’s “default mode” network is active. Its discovery 20 years ago inspired a raft of research into networks of brain regions and how they interact with each other.

A study published June 25 in the American Journal of Psychiatry provides new insights into a long-standing question in psychiatric research: What is the underlying neurobiological mechanism of ...

Neuroimaging techniques, like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), are not able to directly measure neuronal activity. To address this knowledge gap, a team has created a novel experimental ...
