The Default Mode Network (DMN) is central to understanding consciousness, playing a pivotal role in forming autobiographical narratives and a sense of self. Recent research highlights its unique structure, with parts insulated from sensory input, allowing for internal simulations of self-awareness, critical for reflection. This network, alongside the Central Executive Network and Salience Network, facilitates the dynamics of focus and distraction. Its foundational presence across species underscores its evolutionary significance in cognitive processes and consciousness, as discussed by recent academic perspectives.
The Default Mode Network is crucial for our sense of self and bodily awareness, serving as the 'core of consciousness' in various mammals.
The DMN has an intriguing aspect that is insulated from sensory inputs, allowing for internal simulations of the self, essential for self-reflection.
