Deep dives
Understanding the Default Mode Network
The default mode network is a crucial brain component that activates during rest, enabling self-referential thoughts, creativity, memory recall, and theory of mind. This network is integral to imagining the future, engaging in daydreaming and mind-wandering, and fostering creativity by generating new ideas. Understanding the DMN's interactions with other brain networks is essential for cognitive function balance, and disruptions, like overactivity, can lead to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
