Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout the
association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that …

Many human brain disorders are associated with characteristic alterations in the structural
and functional connectivity of the brain. In this article, we explore how commonalities and …

Most research on mind-wandering has characterized it as a mental state with contents that
