Consciousness is supported by the Frontoparietal Control Network (FPN) as part of a hypothesized 'connective core' tandem with the Default Mode Network (DMN) along the brain's medial axis [1], and resting-state data analyses may underestimate FPN's role in consciousness due to its recruitment patterns differing from DMN under external stimuli [2].

referenceShanahan hypothesized that the Frontoparietal Network (FPN) and Default Mode Network (DMN) tandem functions as a 'connective core' along the brain's medial axis to support consciousness.

claimThe reliance on 'resting-state' data without external stimuli may have resulted in an overestimation of the Default Mode Network's (DMN) role in consciousness and an under-estimation of the Frontoparietal Network (FPN), including the lateral prefrontal cortex, due to their different recruitment during no-task conditions.
