Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The default mode network (DMN) is a network of brain regions that is active when the brain is at rest or during internally focused tasks such as mind wandering, thinking about the self, and preparing for conscious thought. The other options, BIS and RAS, are both involved in regulating arousal levels and behavior, while the PFC is involved in higher order cognitive processes such as decision making and working memory.
