The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

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 …

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 …

The frontoparietal control network (FPCN) plays a central role in executive control. It has
been predominantly viewed as a unitary domain general system. Here, we examined …

Although there have been tremendous advances in the understanding of human
dysfunctions in the brain circuitry for self-reflection, emotion, and cognitive control, a brain …

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 …

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 …

The human brain is a large, interacting dynamic network, and its architecture of coupling
among brain regions varies across time (termed the “chronnectome”). However, very little is …

Control processes associated with working memory play a central role in human cognition,
but their underlying dynamic brain circuit mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we use …

The role of the default-mode network (DMN) in the emergence of mind wandering and task-
unrelated thought has been studied extensively. In parallel work, mind wandering has been …
