We review neuroimaging research investigating self-referential processing (SRP), that is,
how we respond to stimuli that reference ourselves, prefaced by a lexical-thematic analysis …

The contribution and neural basis of cognitive control is under-specified in many prominent
models of socio-cognitive processing. Important outstanding questions include whether …

Experiencing insight when solving problems can improve memory formation for both the
problem and its solution. The underlying neural processes involved in this kind of learning …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by a fundamental change in self-
awareness including seemingly paradoxical features like increased ego-centeredness and …

Activation of parietal cortex structures like the precuneus is commonly observed during
explicit memory retrieval, but the role of parietal cortices in encoding has only recently been …

Background Passive coping style (CS) and perceived stress play significant roles as
influencing factors in the development of anxiety. However, the underlying neurobiological …

Sudden comprehension—or insight—during problem-solving can enhance learning, but the
underlying neural processes are largely unknown. We investigated neural correlates of …

Supportive touch has remarkable benefits in childbirth and during painful medical
procedures. But does social touch influence pain neurophysiology, ie, the brain processes …

The default mode network (DMN) consists of several regions that selectively interact to
support distinct domains of cognition. Of the various sites that partake in DMN function, the …

Evidence indicates the significance of the fronto-parietal regions and inertia sensory
processing from previous trials in cognitive flexibility. However, how flexible cognitive …
