HOW DID JIMMY'S DEFAULT MODE NETWORK FAIL HIM? Part 2 of 2

Alan Alda, host of the PBS Special "Brains on Trial," went to Washington University in St. Louis to interview Dr. Marcus Raichle (http://www.nil.wustl.edu/labs/raichle/).

Dr. Raichle is a world-renowned neuroscientist who pioneered research that led to the development of the positron emission tomography (PET) in the 1970s (academyofsciencestl.org/initiatives/fellows/r/marcus_raichle.php).

Here, Dr. Raichle considers how the Default Mode Network contributed to the Jimmy's actions on the night of the crime. A pioneer of the Default Mode Network findings, Dr. Raichle's contributions continue to further research about these brain regions and how they function.
