Mapping the human brain’s default mode network: Anatomical study suggests it has widespread influence

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not engaged in physical activities, such as relaxing, resting or daydreaming. This brain network has been found to support a variety of mental functions, including introspection, memories of past experiences and the ability to understand others (i.e., social cognitions).
