| Research Abstract |
We investigated the neural basis of self-consciousness and self-esteem while subjects performed the self-recognition tasks using fMRI. Moreover, we investigated the differential brain activity in each personality. As a result, we found the bilateral frontal pole, right superior frontal gyrus, bilateral middle frontal gyrus, bilateral dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, left posterior cingulate cortex, right superior parietal lobule, left superior temporal gyrus, and left parahippocampal gyrus. Additionally, scores on the self-esteem scale were negatively correlated with right frontal pole activity, and scores on the personality scale (NEO-FFI) were negatively correlated with bilateral middle frontal gyrus.
