TI  - Neural basis of individualistic and collectivistic views of self.

AB  - Individualism and collectivism refer to cultural values that influence how people 
      construe themselves and their relation to the world. Individualists perceive 
      themselves as stable entities, autonomous from other people and their 
      environment, while collectivists view themselves as dynamic entities, continually 
      defined by their social context and relationships. Despite rich understanding of 
      how individualism and collectivism influence social cognition at a behavioral 
      level, little is known about how these cultural values modulate neural 
      representations underlying social cognition. Using cross-cultural functional 
      magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined whether the cultural values of 
      individualism and collectivism modulate neural activity within medial prefrontal 
      cortex (MPFC) during processing of general and contextual self judgments. Here, 
      we show that neural activity within the anterior rostral portion of the MPFC 
      during processing of general and contextual self judgments positively predicts 
      how individualistic or collectivistic a person is across cultures. These results 
      reveal two kinds of neural representations of self (eg, a general self and a 
      contextual self) within MPFC and demonstrate how cultural values of individualism 
      and collectivism shape these neural representations.
