The default mode network (DMN) is a set of widely distributed brain regions in the parietal,
temporal and frontal cortex. These regions often show reductions in activity during attention …

Notwithstanding rising interest, a coherent picture of the brain's representation of two
languages has not yet been achieved. In the present meta-analysis we analysed a large …

Understanding how the structure of cognition arises from the topographical organization of
the cortex is a primary goal in neuroscience. Previous work has described local functional …

Regions of transmodal cortex, in particular the default mode network (DMN), have
historically been argued to serve functions unrelated to task performance, in part because of …

Humans have a striking ability to infer meaning from even the sparsest and most abstract
forms of narratives. At the same time, flexibility in the form of a narrative is matched by …

Concurrent with mental processes that require rigorous computation and control, a series of
automated decisions and actions govern our daily lives, providing efficient and adaptive …

The default mode network supports a variety of mental operations such as semantic
processing, episodic memory retrieval, mental time travel and mind-wandering, yet the …

Anticorrelation between the default network (DN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) is
thought to be an intrinsic aspect of functional brain organization reflecting competing …

The human brain is tightly coupled to the world through its sensory‐motor systems—but it
also spends a lot of its metabolism talking to itself. One important function of this intrinsic …

Functional neuroimaging research has recently revealed brain network interactions during
performance on creative thinking tasks—particularly among regions of the default and …
