DESCRIPTION:Gregor Rainer\, Visual Cognition Laboratory\, Dept. of Medicin
 e / Physiology\, University of Fribourg\, Switzerland\n\nThe default mode 
 network (DMN) is a collection of cortical brain regions that is active dur
 ing task-off\, internally directed brain states associated with quiet wake
 fulness.  I will summarize recent evidence obtained in the rat suggesting
  that the basal forebrain may represent a hitherto undiscovered subcortica
 l node of the default mode network.  I will discuss potential roles of di
 stininct basal forebrain projections in DMN regulation\, with particular r
 eference to GABAergic and neuropeptidergic systems.  These findings may r
 epresent a novel way to influence DMN activity\, which may have an impact 
 on brain disorders that bear a relation to the DMN such as depression and
  epilepsy.\n
