🔼: [[💡 Brain]] # Default Mode Network A term referring to the brain’s system for self-referential thinking, time-traveling, and narrative construction. A large-scale brain network primarily composed of the medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus and angular gyrus It is best known for being active when a person is not focused on the outside world and the brain is at wakeful rest, such as during daydreaming and mind-wandering. It can also be active during detailed thoughts related to external task performance. [^1] The DMN is our brain's network of habits, thought patterns, and unconscious beliefs. It's how we think, feel, relate, and behave most of the time. Anxiety and Depression weaken the nerve connections in parts of the brain that override the DMN. ###### Modulate or Quiet the DMN - [[🧪 Ketamine]] Infusion - [[🕯️ Meditation 🧘]] - [[💡 Focus & Concentration|Focus]] - [[⭐️ Sleep]] - [[🛠 Psychedelics]] - [[💡 Therapy]] - Attention Training Technique - Acupuncture - [[👟 Aerobic Exercise]] [^1]: [[📖 🟠 Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health]]
