Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, methodology): “Indeed, regions along the medial wall of the PFC may be particularly involved in appraisal processes that may constrain the flow of internally oriented thoughts (Christoff et al., 2016).”
Electroencephalographic Resting-State Networks: Source Localization of Microstates (2017, neutral): “In this proposed system, the medial prefrontal cortex and the PCC play the role of hubs, while the subsystems with distinct functional roles comprise a dorsal medial cortex subsystem (responsible for internally guided cognition) and a medial temporal subsystem (responsible for memory-guided imagery)”
Attention Restoration Theory: Exploring the Role of Soft Fascination and Mental Bandwidth (2019, background): “Periods of low processing demand (i.e., high available bandwidth) have also been linked to mind wandering (Christoff et al., 2016; Immordino-Yang, Christodoulou, & Singh, 2012; Mason et al., 2007; Schooler et al., 2011), a family of spontaneous thought processes that include reflection,…”
