Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates how the brain coordinates information needed for behavior, suggesting that a specific subset of brain regions acts as a 'global workspace' for this task.
  • Researchers used neuroimaging data from over 1,000 participants to quantify the common areas involved across various tasks and resting states, identifying a 'functional rich club' that plays a key role in information flow.
  • The findings indicate a complex interconnection between different systems in the brain, such as memory and attention, and highlight the importance of these regions in orchestrating cognitive functions, validated through computational modeling.
