Scientists Just Proved These Two Brain Networks Are Key to Consciousness:A team from the University of Michigan found that the default mode network (DMN) and the dorsal attention network (DAT) are anti-correlated, meaning that when one is active, the other is suppressed. The team also found that neither network was highly active in people who were unconscious.
These findings suggest that the interplay of the DMN and the DAT support consciousness by allowing us to interact with our surroundings then to quickly internalize those interactions, essentially turning our experiences into thoughts and memories.
“The results provide novel scientific insight into the neuronal mechanisms of consciousness”.
