default mode network

The default mode network (DMN) is a group of brain regions that are active when we’re not focused on the outside world, like when we daydream, reflect on the past, or plan for the future. It plays a crucial role in self-referential thinking and helps us understand our thoughts and emotions. The DMN is involved in processes like imagination, social interactions, and internal dialogue. Understanding the DMN enhances our insight into how the brain organizes thoughts and maintains our sense of self, even when we are not actively engaged in tasks.
