Summary
In the last decade the role of the default mode network in human cognition has become a focus of research in cognitive neuroscience. Although there are many isolated accounts of the function that this network plays in human cognition, we lack an overarching in which to understand its overarching contribution to human thought. This talk will present evidence that this system is not only activated by auto-biographically relevant stimuli, can contribute in a meaningful manner to information processing when task demands increase and will suggest instead that its primary function is as an integrative hub that brings together representational content from disparate regions of cortex.

These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William Feindel<http://publications.mcgill.ca/reporter/2014/01/dr-william-feindel-1918-2014/> (1918-2014), Former Director of the Neuro<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/site_info/contact/> (1972-1984) and Founding Director of the BIC<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Main/HomePage> (1984-1988).  Dr. Feindel's<http://www.behance.net/gallery/Neuro-portraits-William-Feindel/10906655> presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures, where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science
