The default mode network and the thalamus are functionally and anatomically linked as part of a network responsible for information integration and consciousness, as established in [1] and [2]. Furthermore, both structures are involved in the neural connectivity changes observed during the administration of classic psychedelics, as noted in [3].

referenceThe Default Mode Network is functionally and anatomically connected with the thalamus and precuneus, a connectivity that is crucial to consciousness, according to Cunningham et al. (2017).
referenceThe Default Mode Network primarily involves connections among the thalamus, posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and areas of the limbic system (parahippocampal cortex and the hippocampus) that function as a network for information routing and integration, as described by Buckner et al. (2008).

claimClassic psychedelics initiate a cascade of altered neural connectivity and blood-flow across brain regions including the default-mode network (medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, inferior parietal lobule, lateral temporal cortex, hippocampus, and precuneus), the amygdala, the thalamus, and the claustrum.
