AB  - Human beings are social animals and they vary in the degree to which they share 
      information about themselves with others. Although brain networks involved in 
      self-related cognition have been identified, especially via the use of 
      resting-state experiments, the neural circuitry underlying individual differences 
      in the sharing of self-related information is currently unknown. Therefore, we 
      investigated the intrinsic functional organization of the brain with respect to 
      participants' degree of self-related information sharing using resting state 
      functional magnetic resonance imaging and self-reported social media use. We 
      conducted seed-based correlation analyses in cortical midline regions previously 
      shown in meta-analyses to be involved in self-referential cognition: the medial 
      prefrontal cortex (MPFC), central precuneus (CP), and caudal anterior cingulate 
      cortex (CACC). We examined whether and how functional connectivity between these 
      regions and the rest of the brain was associated with participants' degree of 
      self-related information sharing. Analyses revealed associations between the MPFC 
      and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), as well as the CP with the 
      right DLPFC, the left lateral orbitofrontal cortex and left anterior temporal 
      pole. These findings extend our present knowledge of functional brain 
      connectivity, specifically demonstrating how the brain's intrinsic functional 
      organization relates to individual differences in the sharing of self-related 
      information.
