Raichle's network

Raichle's network, often called the default mode network, is a group of brain regions that are active when your mind is at rest, not focused on a specific task. It includes areas like the medial prefrontal cortex and the backward parts of the brain, which communicate to support internal thoughts, daydreaming, and self-reflection. When you are engaged in a task, this network quiets down; it becomes more active during relaxed or introspective moments. This network helps us process personal experiences and maintain a baseline level of brain activity crucial for mental functioning and awareness.
