The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout the
association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that …

The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is one of the least understood regions of the cerebral
cortex. By contrast, the anterior cingulate cortex has been the subject of intensive …

Conventional views of brain organization suggest that regions at the top of the cortical
hierarchy processes internally oriented information using an abstract amodal neural code …

Primates have evolved diverse cognitive capabilities to navigate their complex social world.
To understand how the brain implements critical social cognitive abilities, we describe …

Our ability to remember or imagine specific events involves the construction of complex
mental representations, a process that engages cortical and hippocampal regions in a core …

Association cortex is organized into large-scale distributed networks. One such network, the
default network (DN), is linked to diverse forms of internal mentation, opening debate about …

The effective connectivity between 21 regions in the human posterior parietal cortex, and
360 cortical regions was measured in 171 Human Connectome Project (HCP) participants …

Episodic memory allows us to mentally travel through time. How does the brain convert a
simple reminder cue into a full-blown memory of past events and experiences? In this …

Since the discovery of three scene-selective regions in the human brain, a central
assumption has been that all three regions directly support navigation. We propose instead …
