In the current study, we compared the spontaneous temporal behavior of the default-mode network (DMN) at rest and under a sustained 2-back working memory (WM) task load. Results indicated that during sustained WM task: (1) the spontaneous low-frequency temporal connectivity showed similar patterns as the steady-state task-induced activation/deactivation; (2) global variability with posterior cingulate cortex was weaker compared to rest; (3) the DMN and salience network showed significant power reduction compared to rest.
