From single scenes to extended scenarios: the role of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in the construction of imagery-rich events

Julia Taube, Pitshaporn Leelaarporn, Maren Bilzer, Rüdiger Stirnberg, Yilmaz Sagik, Cornelia McCormick

This study investigates the neural patterns involved in constructing temporally extended mental events using fMRI, identifying a shared network involving the vmPFC, hippocampus, and posterior neocortex with hierarchical contributions.
