The Best in Science News and Amazing Breakthroughs
Neuroscientists think they have identified the large-scale neural network that keeps the brain's creative juices flowing.
When nine adult participants had specific parts of their default mode network temporarily suppressed via deep brain stimulation,The DMN's web activates when the mind is wandering freely from thought to thought.
Unlike fMRI studies, which guess at brain activity through the flow of blood oxygen, electroencephalograms directly measure neuronal electrical activity in real time. Electrodes embedded within the brain are even more sensitive than those pasted onto the skull.
