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.

Large-scale brain networks and psychopathology: a unifying triple network model

TL;DR: A triple network model of aberrant saliency mapping and cognitive dysfunction in psychopathology is proposed, emphasizing the surprising parallels that are beginning to emerge across psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

The default network and self-generated thought: component processes, dynamic control, and clinical relevance

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that self‐generated thought is a multifaceted construct whose component processes are supported by different subsystems within the network, and clinical implications of disruptions to the integrity of the network are discussed.

The entropic brain: a theory of conscious states informed by neuroimaging research with psychedelic drugs

TL;DR: It is argued that the defining feature of “primary states” is elevated entropy in certain aspects of brain function, such as the repertoire of functional connectivity motifs that form and fragment across time, and that this entropy suppression furnishes normal waking consciousness with a constrained quality and associated metacognitive functions, including reality-testing and self-awareness.

A meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies of self-and other judgments reveals a spatial gradient for mentalizing in medial prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 107 neuroimaging studies of self- and other-related judgments using multilevel kernel density analysis argues for a distributed rather than localizationist account of mPFC organization and support an emerging view on the functional heterogeneity ofmPFC.

On the relationship between the "default mode network" and the "social brain".

TL;DR: This claim that social cognition, particularly higher-order tasks such as attributing mental states to others, has been suggested to activate a network of areas at least partly overlapping with the DMN is explored, drawing on evidence from meta-analyses of functional MRI data and recent studies investigating the structural and functional connectivity of the social brain.

Parietal lobe contributions to episodic memory retrieval

TL;DR: This article surveys the fMRI literature on PPC activation during remembering, a literature that complements earlier electroencephalography data and proposes three hypotheses concerning how parietal cortex might contribute to memory.

The Neural Basis of Mentalizing

TL;DR: The human brain has the unique ability to represent the mental states of the self and the other and the relationship between these mental states, making possible the communication of ideas.

Meta-analysis of the functional neuroanatomy of single-word reading: method and validation.

TL;DR: A novel approach for combining published neuroimaging results from multiple studies, designed to maximize the quantification of interstudy concordance while minimizing the subjective aspects of meta-analysis is described.

Social cognition and the brain: a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that inferring temporary states such as goals, intentions, and desires of other people-even when they are false and unjust from the authors' own perspective--strongly engages the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in social cognition.

Self-reference and the encoding of personal information.

TL;DR: The degree to which the self is implicated in processing personal information was investigated in this paper, where subjects rated adjectives on four tasks designed to force varying kinds of encoding: structural, phonemic, semantic, and self-reference.
