| Diagrams map the connections between brain regions involved in the default network, a brain network linked to contemplative thought. Results from brain scans of children, on the left, reveal a less intricate, looser network than that found in adults, shown on the right. The green oval encloses a pair of regions important to the network, the medial prefrontal cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex. These two regions are highlighted on the brain slices below the diagrams. |
