1/🧵

1⃣ Default mode network

🥇 Endogenously mediated activities at rest
🥈 Self-referential and social cognitive processes,

🚫Not active during external goal-oriented processes

2/🧵

1⃣ Default mode network

Components

💠 Posterior cingulate cortex
💠 Medial prefrontal cortex
💠 Precuneus
💠 Inferior parietal and medial temporal cortices

2⃣ Salience network

🥇 Detects behaviorally relevant stimuli
🥈 Coordinates the brain's neural resources in response to these stimuli
