Extraversion and anterior vs. posterior DMN activity during self-referential thoughts
- PsychologyFront. Hum. Neurosci.
- 2013
It is hypothesized that in extraverts self-referential thoughts may be associated with an increase of spectral power in the posterior DMN hub, whereas in introverts they may beassociated with an increased of spectralPower in the anterior DMNHub.

Insightful problem solving and emulation in brown capuchin monkeys
- PsychologyAnimal Cognition
- 2017
It is indicated that capuchins do not spontaneously solve the floating object problem via insight, consistent with some previous results in great ape species and indicate that capuchin monkeys have limited capacity for insightful problem solving.

The Precuneus and Consciousness
- Psychology, BiologyCNS Spectrums
- 2007
Findings suggest that the precuneus may play a central role in the neural network correlates of consciousness, and its activity seems to correlate with self-reflection processes, possibly involving mental imagery and episodic/autobiographical memory retrieval.
