• Modern Attachment Theory: The Central Role of Affect Regulation in Development and Treatment (2008, background): “…now report that this early maturing right hemisphere is centrally involved in ‘‘maintaining a coherent, continuous and unified sense of self’’ (Devinsky 2000), and that a right frontal lobe process, one that connects ‘‘the individual to emotionally salient experiences and memories…”
• Advances in Neuropsychoanalysis, Attachment Theory, and Trauma Research: Implications for Self Psychology (2002, background): “Indeed, it is now thought that the function of the right hemisphere is to “maintain a coherent, continuous, and unified sense of self” (Devinsky, 2000).”
• Self-face recognition activates a frontoparietal "mirror" network in the right hemisphere: an event-related fMRI study (2005, unknown): “…lesions (topographic orientation), right frontotemporal lesions (impulse control), right frontal lesions (social behavior, relation of self to others, social self), and various others to conclude that consciousness of the corporeal, emotional, and social self may be RH dominant (Devinsky, 2000).”
• The Right Brain Implicit Self Lies at the Core of Psychoanalysis (2011, background): “Neuroscientists contend that the right hemisphere is centrally involved in “maintaining a coherent, continuous and unified sense of self” (Devinsky, 2000).”
• Attachment Trauma and the Developing Right Brain : Origins of Pathological Dissociation (2005, background): “Devinsky (2000) argues that the right hemisphere plays an ontogenetic role in “maintaining a coherent, continuous, and unifi ed sense of self” and in “identifying a corporeal image of self.””
• Neural bases of the bodily self as revealed by electrical brain stimulation: A systematic review (2023, background): “Overall, self awareness in a broad sense has long been associated with a right hemispheric dominance (Devinsky, 2000; Feinberg & Keenan, 2005; Keenan et al., 2005).”
