The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

Rumination is strongly and consistently correlated with depression. Although multiple
studies have explored the neural correlates of rumination, findings have been inconsistent …

The brain's default mode network (DMN) has become closely associated with self-referential
mental activity, particularly in the resting-state. While the DMN is important for such …

Neuroscience has made considerable progress in unraveling the neural correlates of mental
phenomena like self, consciousness, and perception. However, the “common currency” …

People often discount evidence that contradicts their firmly held beliefs. However, little is
known about the neural mechanisms that govern this behavior. We used neuroimaging to …

Semantic memory includes all acquired knowledge about the world and is the basis for
nearly all human activity, yet its neurobiological foundation is only now becoming clear …

During the many idle moments that comprise daily life, the human brain increases its activity
across a set of midline and lateral cortical brain regions known as the “default network.” …

Neuropsychiatric disorders are associated with abnormal function of the default mode
network (DMN), a distributed network of brain regions more active during rest than during …

The problem of the self has been of increasing interest in recent neuroscience. Brain
imaging studies have raised the question of whether neural activity in cortical midline …

This meta-analysis explores the role of the cerebellum in social cognition. Recent meta-
analyses of neuroimaging studies since 2008 demonstrate that the cerebellum is only …
