The present study used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate potential neural substrates of self-referential processing and suggests that self- Referential processing is functionally dissociable from other forms of semantic processing within the human brain.

The boundary map- derived parcellation contained parcels that overlapped with architectonic mapping of areas 17, 2, 3, and 4, and their connectivity patterns were reliable across individual subjects, suggesting that RSFC-boundary map-derived parcels provide information about the location and extent of human cortical areas.
Medial prefrontal activity predicts memory for self.

Investigation of neural processes that subserve the memorability of a fundamental class of social information: self-knowledge revealed that activity in medial prefrontal cortex predicted both subsequent memory performance and judgements of self-relevance.

Neuroanatomical Evidence for Distinct Cognitive and Affective Components of Self
- J. M. Moran, C. N. Macrae, T. Heatherton, C. Wyland, W. M. Kelley
- PsychologyJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience
- 1 September 2006
It is found that distinct neural circuits in adjacent regions of the prefrontal cortex subserve cognitive and emotional aspects of self-reflection, and the medial prefrontal cortex responded only to material that was self-descriptive, and this did not differ as a function of the valence of the trait.
Anterior cingulate cortex responds differentially to expectancy violation and social rejection

The results demonstrate that the dorsal ACC is sensitive to expectancy violations, whereas the ventral ACC is differentially responsive to social feedback.
Medial prefrontal activity differentiates self from close others.

Making judgments about the self relative to an intimate other selectively activated the MPFC region previously implicated in the self-processing literature, suggesting that while the authors may incorporate intimate others into their self-concept, the neural correlates of the self remain distinct from intimate and non-intimate others.
Interactions between transient and sustained neural signals support the generation and regulation of anxious emotion.

This work demonstrates how brain circuitries interact across temporal scales to support brief and persistent anxious emotion and suggests potentially divergent mechanisms of dysregulation in clinical syndromes marked by brief versus persistent symptoms of anxiety.
Frontal cortex contributes to human memory formation
- R. Buckner, W. M. Kelley, S. Petersen
- Biology, PsychologyNature Neuroscience
- 1 April 1999
These results, taken in the context of other studies, suggest that memory formation depends on joint participation of frontal and medial temporal lobe structures.
Individual Differences in Nucleus Accumbens Activity to Food and Sexual Images Predict Weight Gain and Sexual Behavior
- K. Demos, T. Heatherton, W. M. Kelley
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Neuroscience
- 18 April 2012
It is suggested that heightened reward responsivity in the brain to food and sexual cues is associated with indulgence in overeating and sexual activity, respectively, and evidence for a common neural mechanism associated with appetitive behaviors is provided.
