How do we balance paying attention to the external world around us vs. our internal thoughts and memories?

The hippocampus shows differential coupling with the cholinergic basal forebrain and the dorsal attention network for externally cued vs. memory-guided attention.

So proud of grad student Craig Poskanzer for leading this project!

@mariam @markgbaxter let me know when someone figures that out normatively?
@j2bryson @markgbaxter This doesn't quite answer your question but you might find this paper/theory interesting. Is internally oriented attention dominant? https://psyarxiv.com/x34de
