A Balanced Mind: The Default Mode & Other Networks

from The Social Brain

Have you ever noticed that when you aren’t doing anything specific, you often start thinking about yourself, your past, other people, or maybe your future? That’s your brain’s default mode network in action. And when your attention gets pulled back to the task you’re working on, a whole another set of networks comes online. In this episode, we’ll explain what these networks do, and why they’re so important for optimizing cognition.
