The default mode network is the brain system that activates when you stop focusing on the outside world and turn inward. It is the source of daydreaming, planning, remembering, and the constant background commentary that narrates your life. It is also the neural home of rumination, self-criticism, and the kind of thinking that keeps you awake at three in the morning. This fully referenced article explores what the default mode network does, why it exists, and what mindfulness does to a system that most people have never heard of but experience every waking moment.
