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.

Understanding Activation Patterns in Shared Circuits: Toward a Value Driven Model

TL;DR: This work proposes adapting a “value-driven” model to explain discrepancies in the human mirror system literature and to incorporate this model with existing models so that a unified model may explain reported activation patterns from previous studies as a function of value.

The human ventromedial prefrontal cortex sulcal morphology and its influence on its functional organization.

TL;DR: It is shown that two supplementary medial sulci affect the most the organization of the vmPFC, which in turn affect the location of the functional peak of activity in this region, showing that taking into account the variability in sulcal patterns might be essential to guide the interpretation of neuroimaging studies of thevmPFC.

“Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Neuroscience?” Neuroscience’s Impact on Our Notions of Self and Free Will

TL;DR: It is concluded that neuroscience alone is unable to undermine the assumption of the rational and self-ruling person with free will worthy of moral and legal responsibility.

The Self-Pleasantness Judgment Modulates the Encoding Performance and the Default Mode Network Activity.

TL;DR: The results suggest the involvement of medial frontal and parietal DMN regions during the evaluation of self-referential pleasantness, and the differential brain modulation based on internally- vs. externally-oriented attention during encoding.

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.
