The past decade has witnessed a proliferation of studies aimed at characterizing the human
connectome. These projects map the brain regions comprising large-scale systems …

The ability to mentally wander away from the external environment is a remarkable feature of
the human mind. Although recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in examining …

Prior research indicates that lower resting-state functional coupling between two brain
networks, lateral frontoparietal network (LFPN) and default mode network (DMN), relates to …

Neuroimaging studies of psychedelics have advanced our understanding of hierarchical
brain organization and the mechanisms underlying their subjective and therapeutic effects …

Mind wandering reflects the shift in attentional focus from task-related cognition driven by
external stimuli toward self-generated and internally-oriented thought processes. Although …

Neural substrates of “mind wandering” have been widely reported, yet experiments have
varied in their contexts and their definitions of this psychological phenomenon, limiting …

Extensive neuroanatomical connectivity between the anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN) and
hippocampus and neocortex renders them well-placed for a role in memory processing, and …

Investigations using noninvasive functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have
provided significant insights into the unique functional organization and profound …

Cognitive neuroscience has witnessed a surge of interest in investigating the neural
correlates of the mind when it drifts away from an ongoing task and the external …

By recording neural activity directly from the human brain, researchers gain unprecedented
insight into how neurocognitive processes unfold in real time. We first briefly discuss how …
