Loud Thoughts: Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and the Default Mode Network [Archive]
We revisit a classic episode to understand the circuitry of the self as we uncover the neurological pathways behind the Ego and explain what the Default Mode Network is.
Topics covered:
- What the hell is the Default Mode Network
- The Brain Pathways of Anxiety and Depression
- The imbalances causing ADHD
- How modern medicines interact with the brain
- The effect of meditation and psilocybin on the DMN
Starting with Hans Berger's pioneering work with EEG this episode covers the history of Default Mode Network discovery, its role in ADHD symptoms, and the impact of Default Mode Network on depression.
We also explore the connection between DMN and anxiety disorders and discuss the benefits of therapeutic interventions targeting the Default Mode Network.
Learn how modern neuroscience uses DMN insights to enhance psychiatric treatments and the overall understanding of mental health.
