Neural dynamics of spontaneous memory recall and future thinking in the continuous flow of thoughts
H. Su, X. Li, et al.
Research by Haowen Su, Xian Li, Savannah Born, Christopher J. Honey, Janice Chen, and Hongmi Lee reveals how spontaneous streams of thought—captured with a think-aloud fMRI paradigm—are shaped by the brain’s default and control networks. Thought boundaries resembling external event edges evoke similar activations, and specific connectivity patterns predict greater versus reduced variability in memory and future thinking.
