Abstract in brief

  • The default mode network (DMN) is a group of brain regions more active during rest and involved in self-reflection and stimulus-independent thought. When functioning normally, suppressing the DMN helps improve attention during demanding tasks.
  • In neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and depression, the DMN is often hyperactive and overly connected, which can lead to problems such as negative rumination in depression and attention deficits in schizophrenia.
  • These abnormalities in DMN activity are linked to specific psychological issues, and understanding these connections can help explain the neural basis of various mental health disorders.

@ntvandam @HarvardCenterHH @PsychMedJournal @healthyminds Rumination is bad for EVERYONE - multiple lines of evidence point to this. Studies also show that rumination activates the Default-Mode Network of the brain, which has been linked to several psychiatric conditions – see: https://t.co/8Bk2E4x1AJ (continued).
