Abstract

During the many idle moments that comprise daily life, the human brain increases its activity across a set of midline and lateral cortical brain regions known as the “default network.” Despite the robustness with which the brain defaults to this pattern of activity, surprisingly little is known about the network’s precise anatomical organization and adaptive functions. To provide insight into these questions, this article synthesizes recent literature from structural and functional imaging with a growing behavioral literature on mind wandering. Results characterize the default network as a set of interacting hubs and subsystems that play an important role in “internal mentation”—the introspective and adaptive mental activities in which humans spontaneously and deliberately engage in every day.

The DMN has been shown to be involved with self-referential processing, e.g., relating (external) information to the self and retrieval of memories.
“The DMN has also been shown to be involved with self-referential processing, e.g., relating (external) information to the self (51) and retrieval of memories (52, 53).”

Default network activity is associated with spontaneous and self-generated thought, including mind-wandering, mental simulation, social cognition, autobiographical retrieval, and episodic future thinking.
“Default network activity is associated with spontaneous and self-generated thought, including mind-wandering, mental simulation, social cognition, autobiographical retrieval, and episodic future thinking [5, 13–14].”

The default mode network is associated with internally-directed attention and spontaneous cognition.
“Such work points to an important role of the inferior prefrontal cortex—regions associated with controlled memory retrieval (Badre & Wagner, 2007) and central executive processes (Aron, 2007)—and the default mode network—regions associated with internally-directed attention and spontaneous cognition (Andrews-Hanna, 2012).”

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.

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.
