Personality functioning and the cortical midline structures--an exploratory FMRI study.

<h4>Objective</h4>Recent neuroscience studies explored the neuronal mechanisms underlying our sense of self. Thereby the cortical midline structures and their anterior and posterior regions have been shown to be central. What remains unclear though is how both, self and cortical midline...
