Evaluative and generative modes of thought during the creative process (2012, background): “The MPFC specifically has also been linked to the evaluation of internally generated affective information (Damasio et al., 2000; Gusnard et al., 2001; Lane et al., 1997; Zysset et al., 2002).”
Meta-analyzing left hemisphere language areas: Phonology, semantics, and sentence processing (2006, background): “…sentence completion (3) (Kircher et al., 2001); plausibility judgment (7) (Baumgaertner et al., 2002; Bottini et al., 1994; Kuperberg et al., 2000; Zysset et al., 2002); mental imagery (2) (Just et al., 2004); comprehension (3) (Ferstl and von Cramon, 2002; Maguire and Frith, 2004; Vogeley et…”
The Link between Social Cognition and Self-referential Thought in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex (2005, background): “, judging how well they are described by the word ‘‘curious’’) (Macrae et al., 2004; Schmitz et al., 2004; Johnson et al., 2002; Kelley et al., 2002; Zysset et al., 2002); tasks that contrast first- and third-person perspectives (Vogeley et al.”
Social cognitive neuroscience: a review of core processes. (2007, background): “When individuals express explicit attitudes toward concepts (Cunningham et al. 2004b, Zysset et al. 2002), names (Cunningham et al. 2003), geometrical shapes ( Jacobson et al. 2006), or paintings (Vartanian & Goel 2004), activation tends to increase in both medial and lateral frontoparietal…”
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).”
Self-referential processing in our brain - A meta-analysis of imaging studies on the self (2006, result): “This would be well compatible with the observed involvement of dorsal CMS in many studies on the self with a strong evaluative or judgmental component (see for example (Johnson et al., 2002; Kelley et al., 2002; Zysset et al., 2002).”
Does the brain have a baseline? Why we should be resisting a rest (2007, background): “To cite just a few examples, Zysset et al. demonstrated activity increases in medial PFC and in precuneus for two tasks, episodic retrieval and evaluative judgements, compared to a passive fixation baseline (Zysset et al., 2002).”
The gateway hypothesis of rostral prefrontal cortex (area 10) function. (2007, background): “For instance, would all theorists agree that “Theory of Mind” should be considered a metacognitive process (see Frith, 2002; Zysset et al. 2002)? The “Sum Process” accounts are also incomplete accounts of the evidence.”
Watching social interactions produces dorsomedial prefrontal and medial parietal BOLD fMRI signal increases compared to a resting baseline (2004, neutral): “Although these processes would appear to be important for attending to and processing social relations, in many of the previous studies, activation in the precuneus was not examined compared to a resting baseline (Cabeza et al., 2003; Zysset et al., 2002).”
Brain correlates of aesthetic judgment of beauty (2006, neutral): “…frontomedian areas around Brodmann areas (BA) 9 and 10 mostly together with posterior cingulate cortex or precuneus as well as ventral prefrontal cortex around BA 45/47 (Cunningham et al., 2003, 2004; Greene et al., 2001, 2004; Johnson et al., 2002; Moll et al., 2001, 2002; Zysset et al., 2002).”
Metacognitive evaluation, self-relevance, and the right prefrontal cortex (2004, background): “Zysset et al. (2002) found that the medial frontal lobe was more active when making subjective decisions compared to episodic memory decisions.”
The neural correlates of subjective value during intertemporal choice (2007, positive): “The medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortices are part of a ‘baseline’ cortical system that is important for behavior mediated by internal goals 40 , 41 .”
Trade-Off Aversion as an Explanation for the Attraction Effect: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (2009, neutral): “The particular BAs implicated suggest a reduction in evaluative judgments of own preferences when a decoy is present (Zysset et al. 2002).”
The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “Left precuneus has been associated with the simulation of third-person perspectives (Ruby and Decety, 2001) and episodic memory retrieval (Zysset et al., 2002), while right posterior cingulate has been linked to retrieval of autobiographical memories (Fink et al., 1996; Ryan et al., 2001).”
Dissociable medial prefrontal contributions to judgments of similar and dissimilar others. (2006, background): “…on one's preferences or personality (Johnson et al., 2002; Kelley et al., 2002; Macrae et al., 2004; Moran et al., 2006; Schmitz et al., 2004; Zysset et al., 2002), reflecting on one's current affective state (Gusnard et al., 2001), or adopting a first-person perspective (Vogeley et al.,…”
