Contributions of default mode network to subjective valuation and maladaptive decision making.

Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences June 1, 2026 David V Smith, Dominic S. Fareri, Ekaterina Dobryakova

The default mode network (DMN) has been central to cognitive neuroscience research for over two decades, yet understanding of its contribution to decision-making remains incomplete. This review synthesizes recent evidence demonstrating that the DMN directly supports subjective valuation and value-based decision-making. Anatomically and functionally, core DMN regions-including the ventromedial...

Reward Enhances Connectivity between the Ventral Striatum and the Default Mode Network

Yet, previous accounts do not consider how the DMN contributes to other brain regions depending on psychological context, thus rendering our understanding of DMN function incomplete. We addressed this gap by applying a novel network-based psychophysiological...
