Default Mode Network Functional Connectivity As a Transdiagnostic Biomarker of Cognitive Function.

Biological psychiatry. Cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging April 1, 2025 Vaibhav Tripathi, Ishaan Batta, Andre Zamani et al. 23 citations

The default mode network (DMN) is intricately linked with processes such as self-referential thinking, episodic memory recall, goal-directed cognition, self-projection, and theory of mind. In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of studies examining its functional connectivity, particularly its relationship with frontoparietal networks involved in top-down attention, executive...

Default mode network anti-correlation as a transdiagnostic biomarker of cognitive function

April 14, 2024 Vaibhav Tripathi, Ishaan Batta, Andre Zamani et al. preprint

The default mode network (DMN) is intricately linked with processes such as self-referential thinking, episodic memory recall, self-projection, and understanding the mindset of others. Over recent years, there has been a surge in examining its functional connectivity, particularly its antagonistic relationship with frontoparietal networks (FPN) involved in top-down attention, executive...

Prefrontal contributions to the stability and variability of thought and conscious experience

Neuropsychopharmacology September 20, 2021 Andre Zamani, Kalina Christoff, Robin Carhart-Harris 50 citations

Abstract The human prefrontal cortex is a structurally and functionally heterogenous brain region, including multiple subregions that have been linked to different large-scale brain networks. It contributes to a broad range of mental phenomena, from goal-directed thought and executive functions to mind-wandering and psychedelic experience. Here we review what is known about the functions of...

Out of the blue: understanding abrupt and wayward transitions in thought using probability and predictive processing

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences December 13, 2020 Caitlin Mills, Andre Zamani, Rebecca White et al. 27 citations

Thoughts that appear to come to us ‘out of the blue’ or ‘out of nowhere’ are a familiar aspect of mental experience. Such thoughts tend to elicit feelings of surprise and spontaneity. Although we are beginning to understand the neural processes that underlie the arising of such thoughts, little is known about what accounts for their peculiar phenomenology. Here, we focus on one central aspect...
