The default mode network: where the idiosyncratic self meets the shared social world
Open accessAbstract
The default mode network (DMN) is classically considered an ‘intrinsic’ system, specializing in internally oriented cognitive processes such as daydreaming, reminiscing and future planning. In this Perspective, we suggest that the DMN is an active and dynamic ‘sense-making’ network that integrates incoming extrinsic information with prior intrinsic information to form rich, context-dependent models of situations as they unfold over time. We review studies that relied on naturalistic stimuli, such as stories and movies, to demonstrate how an individual’s DMN neural responses are influenced both by external information accumulated as events unfold over time and by the individual’s idiosyncratic past memories and knowledge. The integration of extrinsic and intrinsic information over long timescales provides a space for negotiating a shared neural code, which is necessary for establishing shared meaning, shared communication tools, shared narratives and, above all, shared communities and social networks. The role of the default mode network (DMN) is unclear. In this Perspective, Yeshurun, Nguyen and Hasson review evidence that the DMN integrates extrinsic inputs with intrinsic information over long timescales, enabling it to represent meaning in a way that can be shared between individuals.

The Results report that subjects with more similar interpretations of a spoken narrative had more similar brain activity in the inferior parietal lobule and occipital pole. The paper does not identify this finding as alignment across the default mode network as a whole.

The Results (§3.3; page unavailable) link similarity in speakers’ and listeners’ emotional responses during narratives to increased neural synchronization, including in the ACC and precuneus.

Citation 71 supports the humour-perception part of the sentence: the Results report that similarity in self-rated humorousness explained inter-subject correlation of hemodynamic activity in several brain regions. The paper does not identify that finding as an effect across the default mode network. The other experiences in the sentence are attached to other citations, not this one. (LLM, conf=0.84)

Naturalistic stimuli such as stories and movies engage the same default mode network processes that operate during real-world social interaction.
“These findings also highlight the importance of studying the brain’s dynamics under temporally extended, ecological conditions29.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Sensory areas produce shared neural activity because they tend to align with low-level perceptual features of external stimuli.
“Shared neural activity at the sensory level naturally arises from the tendency of these areas to align with the low-level perceptual properties of the external stimuli.”

A given situation can be conveyed through speech, writing or abstract animated shapes.
“The same situation can be described using spoken words, written text or abstract animated shapes.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Across contexts, the same situation can carry very different meanings tied to different actions.
“Conversely, the same situation can have markedly different meanings associated with different actions across different contexts.”

In formal education, new and sometimes technical information has to pass from an expert's brain to novices' brains.
“In such contexts, novel, sometimes jargonized, information must be transmitted from an expert’s brain to novices’ brains.”
The paper relies on this without support.
A central feature of formal teaching and learning is the growth of shared understanding of concepts.
“The development of shared understanding of concepts is also the hallmark of teaching and learning in formal education.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
