“…While a number of neuroimaging studies reported the possible involvement of several brain regions (Schlaug et al, 1995 ; Keenan et al, 2001 ; Ohnishi et al, 2001 ; Itoh et al, 2005 ; Bermudez et al, 2009 ; Oechslin et al, 2009 ; Wilson et al, 2009 ; Loui et al, 2011 ; Jäncke et al, 2012 ; Dohn et al, 2014 ; Elmer et al, 2015 ), the neural mechanisms of AP remain unclear. Novel studies provide behavioral and neuroimaging evidence (Van Hedger et al, 2013 , 2015a , b , 2016 ; Kim and Knösche, 2016 , 2017 ), questioning previously assumed characteristics of AP behaviors and underlying neural structures and functions.…”
