Brain Networks Underlying Consciousness

The loss of self with brain injury is unimaginable and so hard to deal with.

In this presentation Dr. Dian Lyu, PhD shares research about the default mode network and other brain networks that create different aspects of self and the conscious mind.

Knowing about these brain processes is important towards thinking about what can get injured with brain injury.
