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.

Out-of-step: brain-heart desynchronization in anxiety disorders.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the functional networks affected in anxiety disorders overlap with cortical regions that receive visceral inputs (the so-called central/visceral autonomic network), and they suggest that network changes in AD may be due to reduced phase synchronization between ongoing neural and cardiac activity.

Similarity to the self influences cortical recruitment during impression formation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that self-similarity influences evaluation and memory for targets but also affects the underlying neural resources engaged when thinking about others who vary in self-Similarity.

Alterations in neural systems mediating cognitive flexibility and inhibition in mood disorders.

TL;DR: In conclusion, mood disorder patients have exaggerated Switch Cost relative to controls, and this deficit in cognitive flexibility is associated with increased activation of the fronto‐parietal attention networks, combined with impaired modulation of the subgenual cingulate cortex when inhibition of previous mental states is needed.

Altered Neural Correlate of the Self-Agency Experience in First-Episode Schizophrenia-Spectrum Patients: An fMRI Study

TL;DR: During self-agency experience, FES demonstrate deficit in engagement of cortical midline structures along with substantial attenuation of anti-correlated DMN/CEN activity underlying normal self/other-agency discriminative processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self processing in the brain: a paradigmatic fMRI case study with a professional singer.

TL;DR: An eminent professional opera singer with profound performance experience has undergone functional magnetic resonance imaging and was exposed to excerpts of Mozart arias, sung by herself or another singer, and results indicate a distinction between self- and other conditions in cortical midline structures, differentially involved in self-related and self-referential processing.

A default mode of brain function.

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.

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.

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

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.
