This study uses fMRI to investigate neural differences between identity-states in DID without trauma provocation, finding distinct brain activity patterns during state switching.

The paper shows that questionnaire items measuring the same psychological trait evoke similar neural patterns in the mPFC during self-referential tasks, suggesting the brain represents psychological constructs rather than just language.

This study tests if social conformity and reinforcement learning share a common neural mechanism using fMRI and finds no clear evidence of such a shared mechanism.
