在这篇文章中，我们考虑了两个主要问题：自我的概念-实验方法，以及自我的神经解剖学基础。我们区分了基于内容和基于加工的自我概念，这两种概念需要不同的实验策略，在解剖学上，我们更详细地研究了中线结构的概念，并提出了一种关于皮质下-皮质下中线系统的解剖的新观点。在提供荟萃分析证据时，我们表明，边缘前部，例如中线，区域似乎确实对自身特定的刺激是特定的。我们的结论是，未来对自我的研究需要开发新的概念，这些概念在经验上比目前使用的概念更可信。不同的自我概念将需要新颖的实验设计，例如，将大脑的休息状态活动作为自变量。概念和解剖学维度的修改将使大脑和自我之间的关系在经验上得到更可信的解释。(C)2010 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
In this paper we consider two major issues: conceptual-experimental approaches to the self, and the neuroanatomical substrate of the self. We distinguish content- and processed-based concepts of the self that entail different experimental strategies, and anatomically, we investigate the concept of midline structures in further detail and present a novel view on the anatomy of an integrated subcortical-cortical midline system. Presenting meta-analytic evidence, we show that the anterior paralimbic, e.g. midline, regions do indeed seem to be specific for self-specific stimuli. We conclude that future investigation of the self need to develop novel concepts that are more empirically plausible than those currently in use. Different concepts of self will require novel experimental designs that include, for example, the brain's resting state activity as an independent variable. Modifications of both conceptual and anatomical dimensions will allow an empirically more plausible account of the relationship between brain and self. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
