Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI and ERP studies suggest that the medial prefrontal cortex is involved in self-referential processing, which refers to the process of relating external stimuli to one's own experiences and representations. This includes tasks such as thinking about oneself, making judgments about oneself or others, and evaluating one's own emotions and feelings. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
