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

Alexithymia explains increased empathic personal distress in individuals with and without eating disorders
TL;DR: It is often assumed that empathy impairments are common in individuals with eating disorders (EDs), but empirical work has been limited and produced mixed results, making the clinical features and... as discussed by the authors.

Responses to heartbeats in ventromedial prefrontal cortex contribute to subjective preference-based decisions
TL;DR: In ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the neural response to heartbeats, an interoceptive self-related process, influences the cortical representation of subjective value and predicts choice consistency, i.e. whether you consistently prefer Forrest Gump over Matrix over time.

Aging and the wandering brain: Age-related differences in the neural correlates of stimulus-independent thoughts
David Maillet,Roger E. Beaty,Areeba Adnan,Kieran C. R. Fox,Gary R. Turner,R. Nathan Spreng,R. Nathan Spreng +6 more
TL;DR: FMRI data suggest that, in the absence of an ongoing task, although young and older adults spend a similar amount of time engaging in stimulus-independent thoughts, the content and neural correlates of these thoughts differ with age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increases in brain activity during social competition predict decreases in working memory performance and later recall
TL;DR: It is suggested that receiving feedback regarding competition produces more activation in brain regions implicated in social interaction, as well as task distraction, while competition may make a task more enjoyable, the goal of winning may distract from maximizing performance.

A systematic review of the neural correlates of sexual minority stress: towards an intersectional minority mosaic framework with implications for a future research agenda
Andrew A. Nicholson,Magdalena Siegel,Jakub Wolf,Sandhya Narikuzhy,Sophia L. Roth,Taylor Hatchard,Ruth A. Lanius,Maiko A. Schneider,Chantelle S Lloyd,Margaret C. McKinnon,Alexandra Heber,Patrick Smith,Brigitte Lueger-Schuster +12 more
TL;DR: For instance, this article found that minority stress exposure is associated with decreased activation and functional connectivity within the default-mode network (related to the sense-of-self and social cognition) and the central executive network (involved in executive functioning and emotion regulation).

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.

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.
