     Nixon and colleagues [33 ] found that individuals with depression displayed hypogyrification in the precuneus, as well as increased task-based functional connectivity between the precuneus and anterior nodes of the DMN. Since the DMN is thought to subserve self-focused thought, excessive connectivity may reflect pathological self-focus such as worry [13 ,14 ].
