In the late twentieth century, neuroscientists stumbled upon a fascinating discovery while scrutinizing brain scans of people engrossed in various tasks. Unexpectedly, certain parts of their brains seemed to raise their activity levels when resting, while they slipped into standby mode and reduced their activity levels when external focus intensified. These areas, later called \u201ctask-negative,\u201d laid the foundation for the discovery of the DMN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Energy surges during rest.<\/strong> Consider the DMN as the backstage crew of your brain, springing to life when you\u2019re not consciously occupied. Coined by neurologist Marcus Raichle, the term \u201cdefault mode of brain function\u201d emerged as he observed increased energy consumption in these areas during downtime. It wasn\u2019t just random brain regions idling \u2014 it was a network \u2014 the DMN. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What does this network do?<\/strong> Consisting of various brain regions, it orchestrates daydreaming, memory recall, action consideration, and even comprehending language. While they may all appear as autonomous they are actually working together to create an \u201cinternal narrative\u201d \u2014 picture it as a sculptor shaping our identity in relation to others, weaving our past experiences into a cohesive self-narrative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It also latches on to other brain networks: <\/strong>These networks consist of interconnected brain regions that work together to produce complex cognitive functions. Research suggests that the DMN interacts with other networks, such as the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.quantamagazine.org\/inside-the-brains-salience-network-the-will-to-press-on-20131205\/#:~:text=In%20a%20rare,salience%20network%20stimulated.%E2%80%9D\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">salience network<\/a> \u2014 which is the hub of motivation inside our brains. Together with the DMN, they act as a tag team, with the salience network acting as an off switch for the DMN when crucial external stimuli demand attention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>DMN may have links to mental disorders. <\/strong>Some studies have revealed that there is a connection between them while others suggest the opposite. Vinod Menon, the director of the Stanford Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience Laboratory, theorizes that various mental health ailments such as depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer\u2019s disease can be the result of abnormal interactions between the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.tics.2011.08.003\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">DMN, salience network, and the frontoparietal network<\/a> (the network that is in charge of cognitive functions such as attention, working memory, and decision making by facilitating communication between the frontal and parietal lobes).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But they are only scratching the surface<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>Some researchers stress that while it\u2019s a crucial starting point, it won\u2019t be the sole explanation for mental illness \u2014 instead, it serves as a springboard and valuable tool for uncovering underlying mechanisms and developing treatments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A network of different regions of our brains come online when we believe we are switching off<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":616454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7215],"tags":[633,638,7138],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-616453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-for-your-commute","tag-enterprisepm","tag-for-your-commute","tag-health","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"cbe1a2f1-4ed7-4dc2-b548-76889abb0ada","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/3\/370.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"","related_issue":[616448],"teaser":"A network of different regions of our brains come online when we believe we are switching off","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2024\/3\/.12693058-5638-42a8-9796-4c1a0bd7b385.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What does our brain do when we rest?
