Relating their findings to previous work linking MPFC with the process of tagging information as self-relevant (e.g., Gusnard et al., 2001; Schmitz and Johnson, 2007; Northoff et al., 2006), the authors suggested that MPFC contributes to coding and evaluating the self-relevance of future simulations with respect to personal goals. In light of previous work discussed above linking the posterior cingulate to contextual aspects of simulations, D’Argembeau et al. (2010b) suggested that because scenarios involving personal goals likely involve more familiar contexts than those involving nonpersonal goals, posterior cingulate could contribute to the contextualization of self-relevant simulations.
