Concept information

Preferred term

default mode network  

Definition

  • "a collection of distributed and interconnected brain regions that are typically suppressed when an individual is focused on external stimuli; however, in the absence of attention to external stimuli, the DMN [Default mode network] switches or ‘‘defaults’’ to internally focused thought processes, such as self-reflection, daydreaming, mind wandering, recall of personal experiences, and envisioning the future. The DMN is also hypothesized to be active during periods of ‘‘rest’’ and quiet wakefulness, allowing us to reflect on our experiences, feelings, and social interactions." (Menon, 2023, p. 2469).
