TLDR
The data suggest that the sense of self may result from a specific kind of interaction between resting state activity and stimulus-induced activity, i.e., rest-stimulus interaction, within the midline regions.

The Default Network and Social Cognition

TL;DR: The default network as discussed by the authors is a neurocognitive network implicated in social cognition and other forms of self-generated thought, and the topology of the default network, delineated using resting-state functional connectivity MRI, includes core regions and two distinct subsystems.

Major histocompatibility complex peptide ligands as olfactory cues in human body odour assessment

TL;DR: The results suggest that despite the absence of a vomeronasal organ, humans have the ability to detect and evaluate MHC peptides in body odour, which may provide a basis for the sensory evaluation of potential partners during human mate choice.

Brains creating stories of selves: the neural basis of autobiographical reasoning

TL;DR: The notion that autobiographical reasoning and the construction of personal narratives go beyond mere remembering in that they require deriving meaning and value from past experiences is supported.

Effects of Ketamine on Resting-State EEG Activity and Their Relationship to Perceptual/Dissociative Symptoms in Healthy Humans.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that pathological brain oscillations associated with hypofunctional NMDA receptor activity may contribute to the emergence of the perceptual/dissociate symptoms of schizophrenia is tentatively supported.

Default mode network as a potential biomarker of chemotherapy-related brain injury.

TL;DR: Default mode network (DMN) is a strong candidate considering its preferential vulnerability to aging and sensitivity to toxicity and disease states and biomarkers of DMN connectivity could aid in the development of treatments for chemotherapy-related cognitive decline.

A default mode of brain function.

TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.

AFNI: software for analysis and visualization of functional magnetic resonance neuroimages

TL;DR: A package of computer programs for analysis and visualization of three-dimensional human brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) results is described and techniques for automatically generating transformed functional data sets from manually labeled anatomical data sets are described.

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease

TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

The human brain is intrinsically organized into dynamic, anticorrelated functional networks

TL;DR: It is suggested that both task-driven neuronal responses and behavior are reflections of this dynamic, ongoing, functional organization of the brain, featuring the presence of anticorrelated networks in the absence of overt task performance.

Functional connectivity in the resting brain: A network analysis of the default mode hypothesis

TL;DR: This study constitutes, to the knowledge, the first resting-state connectivity analysis of the default mode and provides the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of a cohesive default mode network.
