Default mode Network modulations during olfactory
processing can provide valuable information since both
networks are implicated in higher-order cognitive
processing. Network deactivation refers to a relatively
higher level of neural activity during rest conditions
(or low demand tasks) compared to active (or
high-demand) conditions. Using olfactory fMRI, we
provide direct evidence to 1) support DMN deactivation
during odor stimulation and 2) establish a functional
connection between olfactory and DMN networks to suggest
a role for higher-order cognitive processing for
olfaction.
