general gist of autobiographical memories but impaired at recovering specific details of those experiences (St-Laurent et al., 2009; St-Laurent et al., 2011). Thus, the distinct patterns of connectivity revealed in our data may reflect an important aspect of the fundamental organization of human memory, in that it is the dynamic interhemispheric communication between both medial temporal lobes and the posterior part of the DMN that is most crucial for vivid, detail-rich episodic retrieval of the kind that supports both recollection of autobiographical details as well as recall and recognition of material in clinical measures.
