"Unlike other functional networks, outgoing signals of the DMN are of similar strength to different cortical types, meaning the network may be uniquely capable of influencing function across all levels of sensory hierarchies in a relatively coherent manner."

The architecture of the human default mode network explored through cytoarchitecture, wiring and signal flow - Nature Neuroscience
The default mode network (DMN) is implicated in cognition and behavior. Here, the authors show that the DMN is cytoarchitecturally heterogeneous, it contains regions receptive to input from the sensor...

Bioelectric networks: the cognitive glue enabling evolutionary scaling from physiology to mind - Animal Cognition
Each of us made the remarkable journey from mere matter to mind: starting life as a quiescent oocyte (“just chemistry and physics”), and slowly, gradually, becoming an adult human with complex metacog...

Be wary of buzzwords like "neuroplasticity" - neural change requires hundreds to thousands of repetitions to alter pathways at a meaningful level. Emotion, attention, and context accelerate this process. Spaced practice and rest are critical for consolidation, while novelty strengthens adaptability.
