Abstract
Applying neuroimaging meta-analysis to the neuroimaging literature on self-reflection, we found several brain regions consistently preferentially associated with the period of emerging adulthood (ages 18-24 years) compared to adolescence and adulthood. Emerging adulthood was associated with more reliable activation within specific regions of the medial prefrontal cortex and anterior insula.
