Abstract
This neuroimaging meta-analysis revealed preferential activation in the DMPFC, TPJ, primary motor cortex, and rostral ACC in adolescents during self-referential processing. Adults had consistent activation in the PCC, precuneus, MPFC, and dorsal ACC compared to adolescents. Results suggest self-reflection relies upon multiple distinct neural regions dependent upon developmental stage.
