The entropic brain: a theory of conscious states informed by neuroimaging research with psychedelic drugs (2014, background): “…sensory processing (Sepulcre et al., 2012) and is instead engaged during higher-level, metacognitive operations such as self-reﬂection (Qin and Northoff, 2011), theory-of-mind (Spreng and Grady, 2010) and mental time-travel (Buckner and Carroll, 2007)—functions which may be exclusive to humans.”
Contributions of episodic retrieval and mentalizing to autobiographical thought: evidence from functional neuroimaging, resting-state connectivity, and fMRI meta-analyses (2014, background): “Important insight comes from studies demonstrating overlapping patterns of DN activity across a wide range of autobiographical and social tasks, supporting the notion of a “core network” (e.g. Buckner and Carroll, 2007; Rabin et al., 2010; Schacter et al., 2007, 2012; Spreng and Grady, 2010; Spreng ”
The Neurobiology of Semantic Memory (2011, neutral): “Several other studies show specific involvement of the AG in processing temporal and spatial information in stories [108,109].”
Situating the default-mode network along a principal gradient of macroscale cortical organization (2016, background): “Second, the location of the DMN as equidistant from all sensory/motor systems is aligned with its broad range of functions that requires integration between multiple sensory systems, including episodic (51) and semantic memory (52– 54), social cognition (55, 56), goal-directed working memory tasks (”
Rumination and the default mode network: Meta-analysis of brain imaging studies and implications for depression (2020, positive): “, 2010), as well as to understanding the psychological states of others, usually referred to as “theory of mind” or “mentalizing” (Frith and Frith, 2003; Lombardo et al., 2010; Spreng and Grady, 2010).”
The Default Network and Social Cognition (2015, background): “…are often populated by people, and cooccurring activity in the dorsomedial subsystem is often observed during these social aspects of autobiographical thought (Andrews-Hanna, Saxe, & Yarkoni, 2014; Rabin et al., 2010; Spreng & Grady, 2010; Szpunar, St. Jacques, Robbins, Wig, & Schacter, 2014).”
Capturing the spatiotemporal dynamics of self-generated, task-initiated thoughts with EEG and fMRI (2019, neutral): “Numerous studies have previously identified these regions as the core of the episodic memory retrieval network (Schacter et al., 2012; Spreng and Grady, 2010; Svoboda et al., 2006).”
Imagine all the people: how the brain creates and uses personality models to predict behavior. (2014, methodology): “These regions are reliably observed during studies of mental inference (Mar 2011) and are consistent with the observed overlap between autobiographical memory and mentalizing (Spreng et al. 2009; Rabin et al. 2010; Spreng and Grady 2010).”
The Organization of Local and Distant Functional Connectivity in the Human Brain (2010, background): “For example, the network is active during autobiographical memory retrieval [61], imagining the future [62], and mind wandering [63] (see [50,64] for reviews).”
