In line with other studies, during the reward-processing task, researchers observed decreased activation of the default mode network (DMN) and relative increased activation of other networks.

Two components of imagination — constructing and evaluating imagined scenarios — rely on separate subnetworks in the default mode network, according to research recently published in JNeurosci. Even ...
