TLDR
The results support the notion that self-related processes are not necessarily engaged during sensory perception and can be actually suppressed, and show a complete segregation between the two patterns of activity.

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.

Integrated information theory: from consciousness to its physical substrate

TL;DR: How integrated information theory accounts for several aspects of the relationship between consciousness and the brain is discussed and can be used to develop new tools for assessing consciousness in non-communicative patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consciousness, accessibility, and the mesh between psychology and neuroscience.

TL;DR: This target article argues for an abstract solution to the problem and exhibits a source of empirical data that is relevant, data that show that in a certain sense phenomenal consciousness overflows cognitive accessibility and can be found a neural realizer of this overflow.

A Network Diffusion Model of Disease Progression in Dementia

TL;DR: This work predicts spatially distinct "persistent modes" of dementia that recapitulate known patterns of dementia and match recent reports of selectively vulnerable dissociated brain networks, and closely match T1-weighted MRI volumetrics of 18 Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia subjects.

Interacting Minds--A Biological Basis

TL;DR: Observations suggest that the ability to mentalize has evolved from a system for representing actions, and medial prefrontal regions are concerned with explicit representation of states of the self.

Function of the thalamic reticular complex: the searchlight hypothesis

TL;DR: It is suggested that in the brain the internal attentional searchlight, proposed by Treisman and others, is controlled by the reticular complex of the thalamus (including the closely related perigeniculate nucleus) and that the expression of the searchlight is the production of rapid bursts of firing in a subset of thalamic neurons.
