Researchers have long debated whether knowledge about the self is unique in terms of its
functional anatomic representation within the human brain. In the context of memory function, …

The cortical surface is organized into a large number of cortical areas; however, these areas
have not been comprehensively mapped in the human. Abrupt transitions in resting-state …

The involvement of dorsal frontal and medial temporal regions during the encoding of words,
namable line-drawn objects, and unfamiliar faces was examined using functional magnetic …

The ability to remember the past depends on cognitive operations that are recruited when
information is initially encountered. In the current experiment, we investigated neural …

This study examines whether the cognitive and affective components of self-reflection can
be dissociated using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Using a simple paradigm in …

Human motor skills can be acquired by observation without the benefit of immediate physical
practice. The current study tested if physical rehearsal and observational learning share …

The contribution of medial temporal lobe structures to memory is well established. However
recent brain-imaging studies have indicated that frontal cortex may also be involved in …

This study investigated human anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) involvement during a task
that dissociated expectancy violation from social rejection. Across two studies, participants …

A key question in psychology and neuroscience is the extent to which the neural
representation of others is incorporated with, or is distinct from, our concept of self. Recent …
