resting state network

Resting state networks are groups of brain regions that work together when you're not actively focused on a specific task, essentially during rest or daydreaming. These networks show consistent patterns of activity and communication, revealing how different parts of the brain are connected and coordinate even when you're not doing anything particular. Understanding these networks helps scientists learn about normal brain function and how it may change in various mental health conditions. They highlight that the brain remains active and organized even in moments of rest, reflecting its ongoing readiness and internal processes.
