AB  - Self-construal priming modulates human behavior and associated neural activity. 
      However, the neural activity associated with the self-construal priming procedure 
      itself remains unknown. It is also unclear whether and how self-construal priming 
      affects neural activity prior to engaging in a particular task. To address this 
      gap, we scanned Chinese adults, using functional magnetic resonance imaging, 
      during self-construal priming and a following resting state. We found that, 
      relative to a calculation task, both interdependent and independent 
      self-construal priming activated the ventral medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and 
      the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). The contrast of interdependent vs. 
      independent self-construal priming also revealed increased activity in the dorsal 
      MPFC and left middle frontal cortex. The regional homogeneity analysis of the 
      resting-state activity revealed increased local synchronization of spontaneous 
      activity in the dorsal MPFC but decreased local synchronization of spontaneous 
      activity in the PCC when contrasting interdependent vs. independent 
      self-construal priming. The functional connectivity analysis of the resting-state 
      activity, however, did not show significant difference in synchronization of 
      activities in remote brain regions between different priming conditions. Our 
      findings suggest that accessible collectivistic/individualistic mind-set induced 
      by self-construal priming is associated with modulations of both task-related and 
      resting-state activity in the default mode network.
