Which parts of the brain are responsible for introspection and self-evaluation?

466 views

There are many areas of the brain dedicated to specific purposes, I’m not sure if this is too abstract but… those times when you are reflecting on past experiences (social interactions, good/bad decisions, etc) or really just taking stock of yourself. Is there a known region of the brain responsible for this? Can certain balances of neurotransmitters increase this kind of thought? Or is it a coordinated effort by many regions of the brain to help keep you humble hah.

We don’t really know yet. Though it should at least be grouped into the same section of the brain responsible for awareness. The claustrum is a pretty good candidate for awareness based on current knowledge.
