The default mode network and the mirror neuron system are functionally linked through their interaction in mentalizing and embodied simulation processes [1], specifically within the anterior cingulate cortex [2] and through shared activation in right fronto-parietal regions [3].

referenceThe hypothesis that innate operators explain features of psychedelic experiences is supported by evidence of innate modular functions in entoptic images (Siegel, 1977), the modular structure of the human brain (Gardner, 1983, 2000), cognitive science of religion explanations for supernatural experiences (Boyer, 2001, 2017; Clements, 2017), and the relationship of the MNS (Mirror Neuron System) to the DMN (Default Mode Network) and mimesis (Garrels, 2006, 2011).
referenceThe anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) provides a locus for the interaction between the default mode network (DMN) and the mirror neuron system (MNS), as reported by Uddin et al. (2007).
referenceThe mirror neuron system (MNS) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) node of the default mode network (DMN) interact significantly during mentalizing and embodied simulation processes, according to Molnar-Szakacs and Uddin (2013).
claimThe Default Mode Network (DMN) connection with the Mirror Neuron System (MNS) is stimulated by increased activation of right fronto-parietal regions, which overlap with MNS areas involved in mapping the actions of others via simulation within one's own motor system, according to Molnar-Szakacs and Uddin (2013).
