Neural correlates of individual ratings of emotional salience: a trial-related fMRI study (2004, background): “someone else (Kelley et al., 2002) or when subjects engage in self-reflection vs.”
For better or for worse: neural systems supporting the cognitive down- and up-regulation of negative emotion (2004, background): “This medial PFC region, corresponding to BA 32, has been associated with self-referential judgments (e.g., Kelley et al., 2002), and more generally with processes thought to reflect a default self-monitoring state of brain activation (Gusnard et al., 2001).”
Social and emotional attachment in the neural representation of faces (2004, neutral): “…to be involved particularly in the representation of knowledge about the personal traits (Mitchell et al., 2002) and mental states of others (Calder et al., 2002; Frith and Frith, 1999; McCabe et al., 2001 but see also Ferstl and von Cramon, 2002; Gusnard and Raichle, 2001; Kelley et al., 2002).”
The Neurocircuitry of Fear, Stress, and Anxiety Disorders (2011, background): “Medial prefrontal cortex, including the rACC, also activates in response to emotional pictures (Lane et al, 1997a, b; Phan et al, 2003a, b, 2004a; Reiman et al, 1997) and may mediate self-referential processing (Kelley et al, 2002; Lane et al, 1997a; Zysset et al, 2002).”
Anxiety Reduction through Detachment: Subjective, Physiological, and Neural Effects (2005, background): “…relevance of stimuli (Devinsky, Morrell, & Vogt, 1995), which is consistent with its activation during processing of selfreferential stimuli (Kelley et al., 2002), generation of arousal (Critchley, 2004), allocation of attentional resources to salient stimuli (Niedenthal & Kitayama, 1994),…”
Neural basis of cultural influence on self-representation (2007, methodology): “Using such paradigms, neuroimaging studies found stronger medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) activation linked to self- relative to other-judgments (Craik et al., 1999; Kelley et al., 2002; Lieberman et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2006), indicating that MPFC is engaged in representation of self-knowledge ”
Possible links between self-awareness and inner speech: Theoretical background, underlying mechanisms, and empirical evidence (2004, background): “Results of such experiments reliably show bilateral frontal activation (e.g., Craik et al., 1999, Gusnard et al., 2001; Johnson et al., 2002; Kelley et al., 2002; Kircher et al., 2000, 2002; Kjaer, Nowak and Lou, 2002).”
Dynamic bicultural brains: fMRI study of their flexible neural representation of self and significant others in response to culture primes (2010, neutral): “The locus of VMPFC activity under Western culture priming is consistent with that observed in previous neuroimaging studies of Western participants (Kelley et al., 2002; Macrae et al., 2004; Moran, Macrae, Heatherton, Wyland, & Kelley, 2006; Zhu et al., 2007).”
The neural correlates of direct and reflected self-knowledge (2005, background): “…letter recognition control dMPFC Johnson et al., 2002 0 54 8 Self Self-descriptiveness Yes/No to self reflective versus semantic questions vMPFC Kelley et al., 2002 10 52 2 Self Self-descriptiveness Self-relevant judgments versus other relevant judgments vMPFC Kircher et al., 2002 12 22 31…”
