How is our self related to midline regions and the default-mode network?
Pengmin Qin,Georg Northoff +1 more
TLDR
The data suggest that the sense of self may result from a specific kind of interaction between resting state activity and stimulus-induced activity, i.e., rest-stimulus interaction, within the midline regions.Citations

Opposing Effects of Oxytocin on Moral Judgment in Males and Females
Dirk Scheele,Nadine Striepens,Keith M. Kendrick,Christine Schwering,Janka Noelle,Andrea Wille,Thomas Schläpfer,Thomas Schläpfer,Wolfgang Maier,Wolfgang Maier,René Hurlemann +10 more
TL;DR: An OXT‐related sexual dimorphism in human moral behavior which evolved adaptively to optimize both protection and nurturing of offspring by promoting selfish behavior in men and altruistic behavior in women is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The posterior cingulate cortex as a plausible mechanistic target of meditation: findings from neuroimaging
TL;DR: This paper briefly highlights psychological models of stress that converge between ancient and modern day (e.g., operant conditioning) and identifies key brain regions that, with these models, are biologically plausible targets for mindfulness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional connectivity and neuronal variability of resting state activity in bipolar disorder--reduction and decoupling in anterior cortical midline structures.
Paola Magioncalda,Matteo Martino,Benedetta Conio,Andrea Escelsior,Niccolò Piaggio,Andrea Presta,Valentina Marozzi,Giulio Rocchi,Loris Anastasio,Linda Vassallo,Federico Ferri,Zirui Huang,Luca Roccatagliata,Matteo Pardini,Georg Northoff,Mario Amore +15 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that in BD the communication, that is, information transfer, between the different cortical midline regions within the cingulate gyrus does not seem to work properly, which may result in dysbalance between different resting state networks like the DMN and SN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage to the default mode network disrupts autobiographical memory retrieval
TL;DR: A voxelwise lesion-deficit approach is used to test the hypothesis that regions of the DMN are necessary for AM, and sheds new light on how theDMN participates in self-referential processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting the Functional Anatomy of the Human Brain: Toward a Meta-Networking Theory of Cerebral Functions.
Guillaume Herbet,Hugues Duffau +1 more
TL;DR: This work challenges the traditional, outdated localisionnist view of brain processing, and proposes an alternative meta-networking theory that underlies the uniquely human propensity to learn complex abilities, and explains how postlesional reshaping can lead to some degrees of functional compensation in brain-damaged patients.

A default mode of brain function.
Marcus E. Raichle,Ann Mary MacLeod,Abraham Z. Snyder,William J. Powers,Debra A. Gusnard,Gordon L. Shulman +5 more
TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
AFNI: software for analysis and visualization of functional magnetic resonance neuroimages
TL;DR: A package of computer programs for analysis and visualization of three-dimensional human brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) results is described and techniques for automatically generating transformed functional data sets from manually labeled anatomical data sets are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease
TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

The human brain is intrinsically organized into dynamic, anticorrelated functional networks
Michael D. Fox,Abraham Z. Snyder,Justin L. Vincent,Maurizio Corbetta,David C. Van Essen,Marcus E. Raichle +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that both task-driven neuronal responses and behavior are reflections of this dynamic, ongoing, functional organization of the brain, featuring the presence of anticorrelated networks in the absence of overt task performance.

Functional connectivity in the resting brain: A network analysis of the default mode hypothesis
TL;DR: This study constitutes, to the knowledge, the first resting-state connectivity analysis of the default mode and provides the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of a cohesive default mode network.
