Lesion network mapping demonstrates that mind‐wandering is associated with the default mode network
Journal of Neuroscience Research November 20, 2019 Carissa L. Philippi, J. Bruss, A. Boes et al.
Functional neuroimaging research has consistently associated brain structures within the default mode network (DMN) and frontoparietal network (FPN) with mind‐wandering. Targeted lesion research has documented impairments in mind‐wandering after damage to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampal regions associated with the DMN. However, no lesion studies to date have applied lesion...
