Fascinatingly, the areas of the brain that were particularly active in pet owners—such as the precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex—are involved in self-reflection and processing social ...

This was most robust among pet owners. Regions like the precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex were more active, suggesting that personal experiences with pets impact how the brain processes ...

The researchers focused on three brain regions: the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the left precuneus, and the posterior cingulate cortex, which are key nodes in the executive control and default ...

Both of these acts activated the medial prefrontal cortex (area 10), the posterior cingulate cortex and the ... left lateral premotor cortex, the left precuneus and the right posterior cerebellum.

posterior parietal cortex and middle cingulate cortex and on the right (ipsilateral) side in the region of the anterior insula, lentiform nuclei, posterior parietal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex ...

(Left Panel) Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was guided to the region in the posterior parietal ... including the left precuneus, lateral parietal cortex, superior parietal ...
