Researchers found that people who tend to ruminate have structural differences in a region of the brain called the precuneus, ...

In a subset of these regions, neural activity was significantly correlated with empathic abilities. The self- (relative to the other-) task differentially activated the MPFC, the posterior cingulate ...

Functional neuroimaging studies have started unravelling unexpected functional attributes for the posteromedial portion of the parietal lobe, the precuneus. This cortical area has traditionally ...

Results Z-score was -0.2 ± 1.1 for SA and -0.5 ± 1.1 for PA (p < 0.001). 12 of 13 regions showed normal Z-score distribution for both SA and PA. Z-score of only 1 region (precuneus) was not normal ...
