The Default Mode Network in the brain

Idea to Value

What happens in your brain when you are not actively thinking about anything? Does it go into a sort of low power, “battery saver” mode in order to use less energy? This would theoretically make sense from an evolutionary perspective. However, in reality something even more interesting happens. When we are actively thinking about something, or focusing on something, this primarily uses our brain’s higher order functions such as working memory in the neocortex.

Why does a dolphin not have gills? If a dolphin were to evolve gills (like fish and other marine animals), then it would be able to explore and utilise more of the ocean since it would no longer need to return to the surface frequently to breathe. Over time, natural selection might allow dolphins with gills to successfully exploit new niches, or perhaps even out-compete air-breathing dolphins.

It will still always be possible, but it's getting harder - a fact that large corporations need to come to terms with, and the reason why we’re beginning to see established companies choos
