Personality Profiles Are Associated with Functional Brain Networks Related to Cognition and Emotion

Abstract Personality factors as defined by the “five-factor model” are some of the most investigated characteristics that underlie various types of complex behavior. These are, however, often investigated as isolated traits that are conceptually independent, yet empirically are typically strongly re...
