“…Activations in areas surrounding TPJ are consistent with previous studies Nahab et al 2010;Schnell et al 2007;Spengler et al 2009;Yomogida et al 2010). Interestingly this activity is more present in external-agency condition.…”

“…Activations in areas surrounding the TPJ, in the dLPFC and in the SMA/pre-SMA have been constantly reported (David et al 2007;Farrer and Frith, 2002;Farrer et al 2003;Fink et al 1999;Nahab et al 2010;Yomogida et al 2010), and thus a pivotal role in agency processes has been assigned to these structures.…”

Different brain structures related to self- and external-agency attribution: a brief review and meta-analysis

Several neuroimaging studies have consistently shown activations of areas surrounding the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) during tasks exploring the sense of agency. Beyond TPJ, activations in different structures, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dLPFC), the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA), the insula and the precuneus have been reported. Moreover, a possible dissociation between self- and external-agency attribution has been suggested. To test the hypothesis of distinct neural correlates for self- and external-agency attribution a quantitative meta-analysis, based on activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method, across 15 PET and fMRI studies (228 subjects) was conducted. Results show converging activations including the TPJ, pre-SMA, precuneus and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dMPFC) in external-agency, while insula activation was related to self-agency. We discuss these findings, highlighting the role of the insula, and calling for the use of alternative paradigms such as intentional binding and interactive imitation to study agency.

“…Jaak Panksepp has pioneered the exploration of the roles subcortical brain structures and primitive affects play in adaptive functioning and in psychopathology [13][14][15], while research by Michael Frank, Jeremy Schmahmann, Carol Seger, James Houk, Robert Miller, and Gregory Ashby, among others, has supported a more holistic model of cognition and cognitive development that appreciates the brain's vertical organization [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Brain-behavior relationships in which cortical and subcortical structures play integrated roles have been "modeled" computationally and have been supported by a range of experimental and brain imaging studies [24][25][26][27].…”

Current cortico-centric models of cognition lack a cohesive neuroanatomic framework that sufficiently considers overlapping levels of function, from "pathological" through "normal" to "gifted" or exceptional ability. While most cognitive theories presume an evolutionary context, few actively consider the process of adaptation, including concepts of neurodevelopment. Further, the frequent co-occurrence of "gifted" and "pathological" function is difficult to explain from a cortico-centric point of view. This comprehensive review paper proposes a framework that includes the brain's vertical organization and considers "giftedness" from an evolutionary and neurodevelopmental vantage point. We begin by discussing the current cortico-centric model of cognition and its relationship to intelligence. We then review an integrated, dual-tiered model of cognition that better explains the process of adaptation by simultaneously allowing for both stimulus-based processing and higher-order cognitive control. We consider the role of the basal ganglia within this model, particularly in relation to reward circuitry and instrumental learning. We review the important role of white matter tracts in relation to speed of adaptation and development of behavioral mastery. We examine the cerebellum's critical role in behavioral refinement and in cognitive and behavioral automation, particularly in relation to expertise and giftedness. We conclude this integrated model of brain function by considering the savant syndrome, which we believe is best understood within the context of a dual-tiered model of cognition that allows for automaticity in adaptation as well as higher-order executive control.

“…Regarding the supposed role of the cerebellum in encoding of sensory prediction errors (e.g. Schlerf et al, 2012;Schultz and Dickinson, 2000;Simpson et al, 1996) and processing of agency errors (Yomogida et al, 2010) with a specific focus on human actions (Avanzino et al, 2015), the SEF and the cerebellum seem to be well-suited to signal a mismatch between the predicted dot motion based on the instruction of human agency and the actually perceived nonbiological dot motion leading to higher activation in these areas.…”
