Posterior Cingulate Cortex
The posterior cingulate cortex is a central part of the default mode network (DMN). The default mode network (DMN) is active during mind wandering, self-referential thinking, and when a person is not actively performing a specific task. The posterior cingulate cortex is located in the upper area of the limbic system and is thought to be especially involved in autobiographical memory retrieval. Externally focused tasks, sustained attention, and observing sensory experience have been shown to decrease activation in the posterior cingulate.
Living in and with gratitude of God’s presence with us in each moment will change our self-awareness, it will strengthen our attention, decrease the stress response, and gear us more toward love and compassion. It will also help us gain control over the posterior cingulate, which when unregulated can tilt toward excessive mind wandering, anxiety, and self-criticism.
