AbstractThe human brain seamlessly integrates internally generated thoughts with incoming sensory information, yet the networks supporting internal (default network, DN) and external (dorsal attention network, dATN) processing are traditionally viewed as antagonistic. This raises a crucial question: how does the brain integrate information between these seemingly opposed systems?

AbstractThe hippocampus is thought to coordinate sensory-mnemonic information streams in the brain, representing both the apex of the visual processing hierarchy and also a central hub of mnemonic processing. Yet, the mechanisms underlying sensory-mnemonic interactions in the hippocampus are poorly understood.

AbstractHow the human brain integrates internally- (i.e., mnemonic) and externally-oriented (i.e., perceptual) information is a long-standing puzzle in neuroscience. In particular, the internally-oriented networks like the default network (DN) and externally-oriented dorsal attention networks (dATNs) are thought to be globally competitive, which implies DN disengagement during cognitive states that drive the dATNs and vice versa.
