BACKGROUND MINDMAP

The default network (DMN) comprises brain regions in the parietal, temporal, and frontal cortex, active during restful states.

In a relaxed state, like daydreaming, brain areas fire synchronously as thoughts wander.

Frontal-parietal network strengthens during rest post-motor learning. Angular Gyrus dorsal medial prefrontal cortex

Focus

Marcus Raichle found that focusing on challenges reduce activity in scattered brain regions.

Right distraction enhances DMN for problem-solving.

Explore the connection between slow food, slow living, morning tea

The researchers found that DMN is just one of at least five different networks of resting states - circuits for vision, hearing, movement, attention,
