“…These results match the resting-state functional connectivity when the pACC is treated as a seed [62]. Similarly, clinical work has shown changes of neural coupling between the medial PFC and other brain regions when patients process self-related information [63,64].…”

“…Indeed, a meta-analysis has demonstrated that there is enhanced neural coupling for selfprocessing (vs other-related processing) between the vmPFC/pregenual anterior cingulate (pACC) and several other regions including the bilateral anterior insula, left striatum, right thalamus, and amygdala [62]. These results match the resting-state functional connectivity when the pACC is treated as a seed [62].…”

We propose a new account of how self-reference affects information processing. We report evidence that self-reference affects the binding of memory to source, the integration of parts into perceptual wholes, and the ability to switch from a prior association to new associations. Self-reference also influences the integration of different stages of processing, linking attention to decision making, and affects the coupling between brain regions mediating self-representation and attention to the environment. Taken together, the data suggest that self-reference acts as a form of 'integrative glue' which can either enhance or disrupt performance, depending on the task context. We discuss the implications for understanding the self, and future directions for research.

“…self-relevant traits, own name, own face, autobiographical memories) as opposed to stimuli related to others. Several key regions along the cortical midline appear to show greater activation to self-related stimuli than other-related stimuli (Heatherton, 2006;Northoff et al, 2006;Northoff, Qin, & Feinberg, 2011), including the anterior cingulate cortex (Leshikar, Cassidy, & Gutchess, 2016), the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the vAI (Murray, Debbané, Fox, Bzdok, & Eickhoff, 2015). The mPFC is particularly involved in the processing of information about people's traits, preferences and beliefs (Frith & Frith, 2003;Ma, Baetens, Vandekerckhove, Van der Cruyssen, & Van Overwalle, 2013;Schilbach, 2015) and shows sensitivity to a number of social factors including social status and ostracism (Muscatell et al, 2012;Powers, Wagner, Norris, & Heatherton, 2013).…”

The self is one the most important concepts in social cognition and plays a crucial role in determining questions such as which social groups we view ourselves as belonging to and how we relate to others. In the past decade, the self has also become an important topic within cognitive neuroscience with an explosion in the number of studies seeking to understand how different aspects of the self are represented within the brain. In this paper, we first outline the recent research on the neurocognitive basis of the self and highlight a key distinction between two forms of self-representation. The first is the ''bodily'' self, which is thought to be the basis of subjective experience and is grounded in the processing of sensorimotor signals. The second is the ''conceptual'' self, which develops through our interactions of other and is formed of a rich network of associative and semantic information. We then investigate how both the bodily and conceptual self are related to social cognition with an emphasis on how self-representations are involved in the processing and creation of prejudice. We then highlight new research demonstrating that the bodily and conceptual self are both malleable and that this malleability can be harnessed in order to achieve a reduction in social prejudice. In particular, we will outline strong evidence that modulating people's perceptions of the bodily self can lead to changes in attitudes at the conceptual level. We will highlight a series of studies demonstrating that social attitudes towards various social out-groups (e.g. racial groups) can lead to a reduction in prejudice towards that group. Finally, we seek to place these findings in a broader social context by considering how innovations in virtual reality technology can allow experiences of taking on another's identity are likely to become both more commonplace and more convincing in the future and the various opportunities and risks associated with using such technology to reduce prejudice.

“…Finally, the self/other dimension refers to the commonality between the developmental and brain systems underpinning the attribution of mental states of the self and of others (Murray et al 2015). Accurate mentalizing inferences are primarily dependent on the relative balance between the systems underpinning each dimension, while biased inferences associated with psychopathology emerge under conditions that lead to a loss of balance (Luyten and Fonagy 2015).…”

Abstract:Developmental clinical research in recent years has highlighted the value treating psychotic disorders at the earliest stage to reduce long-term morbidity. It is now suggested that treatment during the clinical high risk states (CHR), preceding by 1 to 4 years the onset of psychotic disorders, may delay or prevent the onset of psychosis, and contribute to a more positive prognosis. In this article, we wish to provide a rationale and clinical illustration of mentalization-based treatment (MBT) as an indicated preventive treatment for CHR. We will first review the notion of high-risk for psychosis, providing a trans-theoretical developmental framework for conceptualizing the clinical progression from sub-clinical towards clinical psychotic states. Second, we address the commonalities and differences between the constructs of mentalization and metacognition, and discuss their relevance in preventive psychotherapeutic treatment for CHR. Thirdly, we provide a clinical illustration of MBT to emerging psychosis. Finally, we conclude by discussing the specific contributions of MBT approach in youths at CHR, and the necessary research for evaluating its relevance in the context of risk for developing psychosis.In the following, we consider mentalization-based treatment (MBT) as an indicated preventive treatment for individuals at clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis. Mentalization (thinking about thinking; (Fonagy 1991)) is a concept used both clinically and empirically to characterize a set of social cognitive processes that convey an understanding of human behavior as motivated by intentional mental states. We will first briefly review the developmental clinical milestones of emerging psychosis. The second section will specifically discuss the relevance of processes such as mentalization or metacognition during the premorbid and CHR phases of emerging psychosis. The last section will offer a clinical case illustration of mentalization-based treatment conducted with an adolescent female at CHR for psychosis. We conclude by highlighting how mentalization-based treatment may protect at-risk individuals from converting to clinical psychotic states.
