TLDR
TPJ function in many domains is well described by contextual updating by using data from cognitive neuroscience to critically evaluate the function of the temporo-parietal junction.

Three key regions for supervisory attentional control: evidence from neuroimaging meta-analyses.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the controlled activation and maintenance of adequate task schemata relies, across paradigms, on a right-dominant midcingulo-insular-inferior frontal core network, which implies that the role of other prefrontal and parietal regions may be less domain-general than previously thought.

The inferior parietal lobule and temporoparietal junction: A network perspective

TL;DR: This review aimed to synthesize findings from anatomical and functional studies of the IPL/TPJ that used neuroimaging at rest and during a wide range of tasks to discuss how network nodes within the IPJ are organized and how they participate in human perception and cognition.

How and where: theory-of-mind in the brain.

TL;DR: Neuroscience has the potential to address accounts of theory-of-mind acquisition and future research directions include microgenetic and training fMRI studies.

From shared to distinct self–other representations in empathy: evidence from neurotypical function and socio-cognitive disorders

TL;DR: The distinction between shared activations versus representations is raised, raising the question what shared representations entail in terms of the underlying neural mechanisms, and the possible mechanisms behind self–other distinction in the cognitive and the affective domains are addressed.

Right TPJ Deactivation during Visual Search: Functional Significance and Support for a Filter Hypothesis

TL;DR: It is proposed that the deactivation in right supramarginal gyrus reflects the filtering of irrelevant inputs from TPJ, preventing unimportant objects from being attended, and predicts that the mean deactivation to distracters should be larger when the subsequent target is detected than missed, reflecting more efficient filtering.

Tuning of the Human Neocortex to the Temporal Dynamics of Attended Events

TL;DR: Attentional entrainment appears to tune a network of brain areas to the temporal dynamics of behaviorally relevant event streams, contributing to its perceptual and behavioral selection.

Prediction, perception and agency.

TL;DR: This review tries to gather together some of the themes that emerge in this special issue and use them to illustrate how far one can take the notion of predictive coding in understanding behaviour and agency.

Linking Brain Structure and Activation in Temporoparietal Junction to Explain the Neurobiology of Human Altruism

TL;DR: Individual differences in GM volume in TPJ not only translate into individual differences in the general propensity to behave altruistically, but they also create a link between brain structure and brain function by indicating the conditions under which individuals are likely to recruit this region when they face a conflict between altruistic and selfish acts.

Neuroanatomical dissociation between bottom-up and top-down processes of visuospatial selective attention.

TL;DR: The results suggest two largely dissociated neural networks mediating top-down and bottom-up control of visuospatial selective attention.
