Neural systems for recognition of familiar faces. (2007, background): “…/ N Functional imaging research has highlighted the engageent of the anterior paracingulate cortex in tasks that involve elf-referential processing (Fossati et al., 2003; Kelley et al., 002), during monitoring of the current affective state (Gusnard, aichle & Raichle, 2001) or during the retrieval…”
Determinants of Emotion Duration and Underlying Psychological and Neural Mechanisms (2015, background): “In particular, greater negative emotional intensity was associated with longer duration of activation in regions along the cortical midline associated with self-referent processing: the anterior medial prefrontal cortex, and the posterior cingulate cortex (Fossati et al., 2003).”
Neuroanatomical Evidence for Distinct Cognitive and Affective Components of Self (2006, background): “Indeed, even when care is taken to consider valence by contrasting positive versus negative traits judged in reference to self, as was done previously by Fossati et al. (2003), such results may still be confounded with self-relevance.”
Rumination and the default mode network: Meta-analysis of brain imaging studies and implications for depression (2020, positive): “Thus, we include some “atypical” rumination studies (Fossati et al., 2003; Lemogne et al., 2009; Moran et al., 2006; Nejad et al., 2019; Yoshimura et al., 2009) which we believe meet the former mentioned broader definition of rumination/distraction research.”
A Naturalist’s View of Pride (2010, result): “…given previous findings of mPFC activity during experiences of negative selfconscious emotions such as embarrassment, guilt, and shame, as well as research indicating that the mPFC is central to selfreferential thought (e.g., Fossati et al., 2003; Kircher et al., 2002; Takahashi et al., 2004).”
Limbic-frontal circuitry in major depression: a path modeling metanalysis (2004, background): “…(Cg25, lat9, mF10, OF11, Cg24, aTh; (e.g., Damasio et al., 2000; George et al., 1995, 1997; Liotti et al., 2002; Mayberg et al., 1999), as well as studies of emotional monitoring and selfreference (Cg24, mF10, OF11; Davidson, 2001; Elliott et al., 2000; Fossati et al., 2003; Zald et al., 2002).”
Distinct Regions of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Are Associated with Self-referential Processing and Perspective Taking (2007, background): “…consistent with 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…”

Age-related Changes in Brain Activity across the Adult Lifespan (2006, background): “There also is evidence from functional neuroimaging experiments of anterior medial frontal activity during self-reference tasks (Fossati et al., 2003; Craik et al., 1999) and posterior cingulate activity during visuospatial attention tasks (Small et al., 2003), suggesting a role for these regions…”
Neural Bases of Motivated Reasoning: An fMRI Study of Emotional Constraints on Partisan Political Judgment in the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election (2006, background): “The dorsomedial frontal cortex is associated with such processes as self-reference (D'Argembeau et al., 2005; Fossati et al., 2003) and sympathy (Decety & Chaminade, 2003), which are congruent with the hypothesized processes by which partisans reason to emotionally biased conclusions about a…”
Evaluative and generative modes of thought during the creative process (2012, background): “For example, it is activated during evaluation of self and others' emotional reactions (Fossati et al., 2003; Ochsner et al., 2004; Ruby and Decety, 2004) and emotional mental state attribution (Mitchell et al., 2005).”
Resting-state functional connectivity in major depression: abnormally increased contributions from subgenual cingulate cortex and thalamus. (2007, neutral): “…the persistent, emotionally-laden, selfreflective tendencies in depressed subjects might generate increased functional connectivity in medial prefrontal portions of the network implicated in self-referential and emotional processing (Fossati et al 2003; Gusnard et al 2001; Kelley et al 2002).”
