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 …

Over the last decades, scientists have questioned the origin of the exquisite human mastery
of tools. Seminal studies in monkeys, healthy participants and brain-damaged patients have …

We suggest that there is confusion between why consciousness developed and what
additional functions, through continued evolution, it has co-opted. Consider episodic …

Being able to discriminate between what originates from ourselves and what originates from
others is critical for efficient interactions with our social environment. However, it remains an …

An increasing amount of recent research has focused on the multisensory and neural bases
of the bodily self. This pre‐reflective form of self is considered as multifaceted, incorporating …

The somatosensory system is important for many functions, such as tactile recognition, the
perception of our body, and motor actions. We present a comprehensive review of the …

Experimental and theoretical studies have tried to gain insights into the involvement of the
Temporal Parietal Junction (TPJ) in a broad range of cognitive functions like memory …

In addition to 'balancing the body', the vestibular cortical network contributes to modulate
space, body and self-awareness. Emerging evidence suggests that the vestibular network …

The insula, a “cortical hub” buried within the lateral sulcus, is involved in a number of
processes including goal-directed cognition, conscious awareness, autonomic regulation …

Classical neurophysiology suggests that the motor cortex (MI) has a unique role in action
control. In contrast, this review presents evidence for multiple parieto-frontal spinal …
