Mirror Neuron and Theory of Mind Mechanisms Involved in Face-to-Face Interactions: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Approach to Empathy (2007, background): “Furthermore, an important role of the anterior precuneus in self-related information processing has been suggested (e.g., Shah et al., 2001; see Cavanna & Trimble, 2006 for a review).”
Default network connectivity reflects the level of consciousness in non-communicative brain-damaged patients. (2010, background): “Precuneus connectivity could also reliably differentiate minimally conscious from unconscious patients, again suggesting a particularly strong relationship between the level of activity of this area and the patients' level of consciousness (Laureys et al., 2004; Cavanna and Trimble, 2006).”
In Vivo Imaging of Amyloid Deposition in Alzheimer’s Disease using the Novel Radioligand [18F]AV-45 (Florbetapir F 18) (2010, result): “This finding is consistent with the known localization of Ab in these areas in postmortem tissue (23), with recent literature suggesting the precuneus is involved in integrative functions including visual spatial coordination and working memory retrieval (24)—and with results from other Ab radiotrac”
Neural Correlates of Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic and Quantitative Meta-Analysis involving 1,351 Patients (2009, positive): “Our meta-analysis revealed alterations in the inferior parietal lobules extending to the intraparietal sulcus and in the precuneus, regions processing visuo-spatial information and enabling spatially guided behavior (Cavanna and Trimble, 2006).”
Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART): a framework for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms of mindfulness (2012, background): “Interestingly, the precuneus is characterized by transient decreases in tonic activity during engagement in NS-processing or in def ault mode f orms of rest (Cavanna and Trimble, 2006).”
Theory of Mind and Empathic Explanations of Machiavellianism (2013, background): “In addition, the precuneus region has been implicated in perspective taking (e.g., Cavanna & Trimble, 2006; Ruby & Decety, 2001; Vogeley et al., 2001, 2004).”
Precuneus shares intrinsic functional architecture in humans and monkeys (2009, background): “In a review of functional activation studies of the precuneus, Cavanna and Trimble (2) distinguished an anterior region involved in selfcentered mental imagery strategies from a posterior region associated with successful retrieval of episodic memory, and further attributed a subdivision of the prec”
20 years of the default mode network: a review and synthesis (2023, methodology): “89 Additionally, dynamic causal modeling applied to human fMRI and intra-cranial EEG data point to a sustained causal inﬂuence of the DMN on other brain networks.”
Medical image analysis with artificial neural networks (2010, background): “A comprehensive survey in this topic can be referred to in [49], [50] and [70].”
Estimation of functional connectivity in fMRI data using stability selection-based sparse partial correlation with elastic net penalty (2011, neutral): “The posterior medial cortex, and the precuneus in particular, is thought to play an important role in self-referential processing imagery and episodic memory (Cavanna and Trimble, 2006).”
The human vestibular cortex revealed by coordinate-based activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis. (2012, neutral): “…clusters are listed with their volume, together with the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) value and stereotaxic coordinates (x, y, z) in the MNI space of the local maxima Left anterior insula (gyrus III)/claustrum and first-person perspective taking (review in Cavanna and Trimble, 2006).”
Enhancing creativity by means of cognitive stimulation: Evidence from an fMRI study (2010, background): “Cavanna and Trimble (2006) review studies on functional correlates of the precuneus and refer to findings whereupon this brain region consistently exhibits deactivations during goaldirected information processing as compared with a resting state during which systematic thoughts should be avoided.”
Annual Research Review: Enduring neurobiological effects of childhood abuse and neglect (2016, neutral): “The precuneus is a major component of the posterior default mode network and is involved in self-referential thinking and self-centered mental imagery (Cavanna & Trimble, 2006).”
