Coherent spontaneous activity identifies a hippocampal-parietal memory network. (2006, background): “…emotional and motivational processes ventrally (Bechara et al. 2000; Critchley 2005; Damasio et al. 1994; Gusnard et al. 2003; Schultz et al. 2000; Simpson et al. 2001a,b) and self-referential thought and “mentalizing” dorsally (Frith and Frith 1999, 2003; Gusnard et al. 2001; Kjaer et al. 2002).”
Reflecting upon Feelings: An fMRI Study of Neural Systems Supporting the Attribution of Emotion to Self and Other (2004, result): “This finding is consistent with studies showing greater MPFC activation when judging whether trait adjectives or phrases describe oneself as compared to another familiar person (Lieberman, Jarcho, & Satpute, in press; Kelley et al., 2002; Kjaer et al., 2002; Craik et al., 1999).”
The precuneus: a review of its functional anatomy and behavioural correlates. (2006, background): “Kjaer et al. (2002) asked healthy subjects to think intensely on how they would describe their own personality traits and physical appearance and of a neutral reference person known to all the subjects.”
The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “…there was evidence (at less conservative significance levels) of functional overlaps between dialogic inner speech and ToM in an area of right MTG that has been previously linked to retrieval of face-word associations (Henke et al., 2003) and reflection on third-person traits (Kjaer et al., 2002).”
Differentiating transformational and non-transformational leaders on the basis of neurological imaging (2012, neutral): “Indeed, Kjaer, Nowak, and Lou (2002) showed that neural activity associated with the self was similar while at rest, as compared to completing a self-awareness task.”
Social cognitive neuroscience: a review of core processes. (2007, background): “…is also variability in the fMRI studies examining self-recognition, most have observed greater right LPFC and LPAC activity (Platek et al. 2006; Sugiura 2000, 2005; Uddin et al. 2005) when individuals identify pictures as themselves compared with when they identify pictures of familiar others .”
Associations and dissociations between default and self-reference networks in the human brain (2011, background): “Activation in PCC is also frequently observed in self-reference tasks (Kelley et al., 2002; Kjaer et al., 2002; Lou, Luber et al., 2004; Moran et al., 2006), although it has not been consistently activated by the degree of self-relevance of items in studies that investigated this (Macrae et al.,…”
Distinct Regions of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Are Associated with Self-referential Processing and Perspective Taking (2007, background): “…previous studies of self-referential personality processing (Heatherton et al., 2006; D’Argembeau et al., 2005; Schmitz et al., 2004; Fossati et al., 2003; Kelley et al., 2002; Kjaer et al., 2002; Craik et al., 1999) and confirms that these regions are important for representing self-knowledge.”
Neural basis of cultural influence on self-representation (2007, background): “ACC has been shown to be activated when people think about their own physical appearance (Kjaer et al., 2002) or when they recognize their own face (Kircher et al., 2001).”
Self-referential reflective activity and its relationship with rest: a PET study (2005, background): “Based on previous neuroimaging studies, we predicted that self-referential reflective activity would be associated with activation in the VMPFC (Johnson et al., 2002; Kelley et al., 2002; Kjaer et al., 2002; Schmitz et al., 2004).”
Functional connectivity mapping of the human precuneus by resting state fMRI (2012, background): “As part of the medial posterior parietal cortex, the precuneus is engaged in reflective, self-related processing (Kjaer et al., 2002; Lou et al., 2004), awareness and conscious information processing (Kjaer et al.”
