abstract = {Human self-consciousness relies on the ability to
distinguish between oneself and others. We sought to explore
the neural correlates involved in self-other representations
by investigating two critical processes: perspective taking
and agency. Although recent research has shed light on the
neural processes underlying these phenomena, little is known
about how they overlap or interact at the neural level. In a
two-factorial functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
experiment, participants played a ball-tossing game with two
virtual characters ("avatars"). During an active/agency
(ACT) task, subjects threw a ball to one of the avatars by
pressing a button. During a passive/nonagency (PAS) task,
they indicated which of the other avatars threw the ball.
Both tasks were performed from a first-person perspective
(1PP), in which subjects interacted from their own
perspective, and a third-person perspective (3PP), in which
subjects interacted from the perspective of an avatar with
another location in space. fMRI analyses revealed
overlapping activity in medial prefrontal regions associated
with representations of one's own perspective and actions
(1PP and ACT), and overlapping activity in
temporal-occipital, premotor, and inferior frontal, as well
as posterior parietal regions associated with representation
of others' perspectives and actions (3PP and PAS). These
findings provide evidence for distinct neural substrates
underlying representations of the self and others and
provide support for the idea that the medial prefrontal
cortex crucially contributes to a neural basis of the self.
The lack of a statistically significant interaction suggests
that perspective taking and agency represent independent
constituents of self-consciousness.},
