A dynamic framework of brain functional patterns shaped by spontaneous thoughts beyond the default mode network.
Scientific Reports August 4, 2025 Sandrine Cremona, Achille Gillig, Emmanuel Mellet et al.
Cognitive functions emerge from the dynamic interplay of distributed, large-scale brain networks. Functional connectivity (FC) reflects stable brain organization and general cognitive abilities, while also capturing individual variations in transient cognitive states. Analyzing data from 1,717 participants, we show that rich and diverse spontaneous thought profiles align with distinct patterns...
