We conclude that AN patients process non-self-images similarly to control subjects, but their processing of self-images is quite discrepant, with a lack of activation of the attentional system or the insula.
In social perception, the inference of personality traits from behavioral observation, stereotyping, and the processing of self-referential information all occur preconsciously.
Recent research has revealed interactions between interoceptive and exteroceptive processing of self-related information, for example that mirror self-observation can improve interoceptive awareness.
The purpose of this study was to test the influence of exercise self-schema on the processing of self-relevant information in the sport and exercise domain.
The postulated model for sensory processing of self-generated stimuli implies that during voluntary movement, the motor commands are sent to the executing effectors and, in parallel, a copy is sent to the relevant sensory cortex in which action consequences of the voluntary action are expected.
One such approach examines how the act of vocalization influences brain processing of self-generated sounds.
Cortical midline structures have often been associated with the processing of self-referential stimuli [30].
Right parietal locus could reflect a shift toward the processing of self-other similarities in the matched hand movements.
Our results demonstrate that neuronal activity in the human parietal cortex, which is involved in the spatial processing of self-referential physical distance, seems to be associated with the evaluation of social distance between self and others.
Processing of self-complementary foldback or dsRNA precursors to small RNA duplexes is catalyzed by complexes containing DICER [or DICER-LIKE (DCL)] proteins and dsRNA-binding proteins [1] [3].
The results of the current experiment are compatible with the notion of a functional division of the brain into two global systems, one that is oriented towards the external environment and the other that is tuned inward and deals with processing of self-related representations.
