The Neuroscience of Overthinking: How the Default Mode Network Keeps Your Mind Stuck

Overthinking isn’t Anxiety or indecision—it’s your brain’s default mode network staying online too long. Discover the neuroscience behind overthinking, why high performers experience it, and how simple brain-based shifts restore Clarity and focus.

Dr. Melissa Hughes Neuroscience Researcher, Author & Keynote Speaker

After having spent 10 years teaching both big kids and little kids (elementary school and university), I began my neuroscience research journey to understand how the brain works and how to make it work better. I recognize that not everyone is as geeky as I am, but I believe most of us want to optimize brain function for as long as we can. Beyond my work, I live in Naples, Florida and enjoy anything in the sunshine.
