TL;DR: A study combining experience sampling with functional neuroimaging concludes that activity within the DMN encodes information associated with ongoing cognition that goes beyond whether attention is directed to the task, including detailed experiences during active task states.

TL;DR: Using task based imaging, regions that respond when cognition combines both stimulus independence with multi‐modal information are established and it is shown that these regions were located at the extreme end of a macroscale gradient, which describes gradual transitions from sensorimotor to transmodal cortex.

TL;DR: This study examines the relationships between individual differences in resting-state DMN connectivity, performance on memory, social and planning tasks and variability in spontaneous thought to investigate whether the DMN is critical to mind-wandering because it supports stimulus-independent cognition, memory retrieval, or both.

TL;DR: It is shown that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in both on- task thought during increased environmental demands, and off-task thought during decreased demand–suggesting a role for the DLPFC in prioritising goals in a context-dependent manner.

TL;DR: Data show that quantitative and qualitative variation in semantic cognition across individuals emerges from variations in the interaction of nodes within distinct functional brain networks.
