“…Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have implicated the medial prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe as a putative neural network underpinning episodic prospection (Buckner, Andrews-Hanna, & Schacter, 2008) working with MPFC and MTG to facilitate processes of self-projection into the future (Bar, 2009;Buckner & Carroll, 2007). This is consistent with the research showing that MTG provides the foundation for internal mentation during autobiographical memory retrieval (Fox, Spreng, Ellamil, Andrews-Hanna, & Christoff, 2015;Li, Mai, & Liu, 2014;Tulving, 2002), while MPFC is implicated in self-related simulations (Kim, 2012;Szpunar, Watson, & McDermott, 2007) and complex perspective-taking processes (Van Hoeck et al, 2013).…”
