Neural activity associated with self, other, and object-based counterfactual thinking

TLDR
The results suggest that different brain mechanisms are involved in the simulation of personal and impersonal counterfactual thoughts, and that the extent to which regions associated with autobiographical memory are recruited during the Simulation of Counterfactuals involving others depends on the perceived similarity and familiarity with the simulated individuals.

Autobiographical memory decline in Alzheimer's disease, a theoretical and clinical overview

TL;DR: It is proposed that autobiographical recall in AD is mainly characterized by loss of associated episodic information, which leads to de-contextualization of autobiographical memories and a shift from reliving past events to a general sense of familiarity.

Computations Underlying Social Hierarchy Learning: Distinct Neural Mechanisms for Updating and Representing Self-Relevant Information.

TL;DR: It is shown that a Bayesian inference scheme, which tracks the power of individuals, better captures behavioral and neural data compared with a reinforcement learning model inspired by rating systems used in games such as chess.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morality constrains the default representation of what is possible

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human adults often default to treating immoral and irrational events as impossible, and a case study of high-level cognitive judgments relying on default implicit representations of possibility rather than explicit deliberation is provided.

Anosognosia in Alzheimer disease: Disconnection between memory and self-related brain networks

TL;DR: This study aims at improving the understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying anosognosia of memory deficits in AD by combining measures of regional brain metabolism and intrinsic connectivity and fMRI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 and episodic memory decline in Alzheimer’s disease: A review

TL;DR: A systematic search for studies assessing episodic memory in AD patients who were genotyped for APOE ε4 and identified fourteen papers, which identified several shortcoming and limitations, such as small sample sizes, non-representative populations, lack of comparison of early-ONSet vs. late-onset disease, and lack of compare among different genotypes that include APOEε4.

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.

Memory and the hippocampus: A synthesis from findings with rats, monkeys, and humans.

TL;DR: The role of the hippocampus is considered, which is needed temporarily to bind together distributed sites in neocortex that together represent a whole memory.

The construction of autobiographical memories in the self-memory system

TL;DR: It is shown how this model can be used to draw together a wide range of diverse data from cognitive, social, developmental, personality, clinical, and neuropsychological autobiographical memory research.

Theory of mind.

TL;DR: For example, Frith as discussed by the authors showed that children with autism have a specific problem with theory-of-mind tasks, such as looking for the hidden chocolate in the cupboard.
