Description
Summary:Paper reviews contemporary standards and results of neurovisualization studies of the human Self. It's been shown, that the medial prefrontal cortex plays the main role in supporting this mental function. The cingulate, the inferior parietal lobule and the precuneus has less influence on this process. Emotional aspects of the Self are also likely to be associated with involvement of the amygdala, and embodiment is related to the insular cortex. In schizophrenia patients, activity of identified network decreases while in case of depression, anxiety or autism it increases.
