Both conditions were associated with common activation in the SMA, the precentral gyrus, the precuneus and the MT/V5 complex	P. Ruby; Jean Decety. Effect of subjective perspective taking during simulation of action: a PET investigation of agency. Nature Neuroscience 4(5):546-50, 2001. PMID: 11319565. DOI: 10.1038/87510. WOBIB: 8.
When compared to the first-person perspective, the third-person perspective recruited right inferior parietal, precuneus, posterior cingulate and frontopolar cortex	P. Ruby; Jean Decety. Effect of subjective perspective taking during simulation of action: a PET investigation of agency. Nature Neuroscience 4(5):546-50, 2001. PMID: 11319565. DOI: 10.1038/87510. WOBIB: 8.
We suggest that the right inferior parietal, precuneus and somatosensory cortex are specifically involved in distinguishing self-produced actions from those generated by others	P. Ruby; Jean Decety. Effect of subjective perspective taking during simulation of action: a PET investigation of agency. Nature Neuroscience 4(5):546-50, 2001. PMID: 11319565. DOI: 10.1038/87510. WOBIB: 8.
Activation tightly correlated with numerical distance was observed mainly in a group of parietal areas distributed bilaterally along the intraparietal sulci and in the precuneus, as well as in the left middle temporal gyrus and posterior cingulate	P. Pinel; S. Dehaene; D. Riviere; D. LeBihan. Modulation of parietal activation by semantic distance in a number comparison task. NeuroImage 14(5):1013-26, 2001. PMID: 11697933. DOI: 10.1006/nimg.2001.0913. WOBIB: 10.
Awareness of visual verbal stimuli differentially activated medial parietal association cortex (precuneus), which is a polymodal sensory cortex, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is thought to be primarily executive	Troels W. Kjaer; M. Nowak; K. W. Kjaer; A. R. Lou; H. C. Lou. Precuneus-prefrontal activity during awareness of visual verbal stimuli. Consciousness and cognition 10(3):356-365, 2001. PMID: 11697869. DOI: 10.1006/ccog.2001.0509. WOBIB: 21.
A recent meta-analysis has shown precuneus, angular gyri, anterior cingulate gyri, and adjacent structures to be highly metabolically active in support of resting consciousness	Troels Kjaer; Markus Nowak; Hans Lou. Reflective Self-Awareness and Conscious States: PET Evidence for a Common Midline Parietofrontal Core. NeuroImage 17(2):1080, 2002. PMID: 12377180. WOBIB: 31.
The results confirmed our hypothesis: Statistical parametric mapping showed differential activity in precuneus and angular gyri during reflection on own personality traits and in anterior cingulate gyri during reflection on own physical traits	Troels Kjaer; Markus Nowak; Hans Lou. Reflective Self-Awareness and Conscious States: PET Evidence for a Common Midline Parietofrontal Core. NeuroImage 17(2):1080, 2002. PMID: 12377180. WOBIB: 31.
It also activated three medial regions not previously identified in human neuroimaging studies of pursuit: the precuneus and the anterior and posterior cingulate cortices	R. A. Berman; C. L. Colby; C. R. Genovese; J. T. Voyvodic; B. Luna; K. R. Thulborn; J. A. Sweeney. Cortical networks subserving pursuit and saccadic eye movements in humans: an FMRI study. Human Brain Mapping 8(4):209-25, 1999. PMID: 10619415. WOBIB: 46.
Maintenance of orientations involved a distributed fronto-parietal network, that is, left and right lateral superior frontal sulcus (SFSl), bilateral ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), bilateral precuneus, and right superior parietal lobe (SPL)	L. Cornette; P. Dupont; E. Salmon; G. A. Orban. The neural substrate of orientation working memory. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience 13(6):813-28, 2001. PMID: 11564325. DOI: 10.1162/08989290152541476. WOBIB: 51.
In contrast, regional CV was significantly lower in AD in temporal and parietal cortices, which were the regions that along with the precuneus had the largest metabolic decrements, though the precuneus had increased CV	Nora D. Volkow; Wei Zhu; Christoph A. Felder; Klaus Mueller; Tomihisa F. Welsh; Gene J. Wang; Mony J. de Leon. Changes in brain functional homogeneity in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. Psychiatry Research 114(1):39-50, 2002. PMID: 11864808. WOBIB: 61.
The enhanced CV in precuneus, despite its marked reductions in metabolism, suggests that increases in regional homogeneity in parietal and temporal cortices are not a mere reflection of the decrement in metabolism	Nora D. Volkow; Wei Zhu; Christoph A. Felder; Klaus Mueller; Tomihisa F. Welsh; Gene J. Wang; Mony J. de Leon. Changes in brain functional homogeneity in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. Psychiatry Research 114(1):39-50, 2002. PMID: 11864808. WOBIB: 61.
Conjunction analysis revealed a network of brain areas jointly activated during conscious REST as compared to the nine cognitive tasks, including the bilateral angular gyrus, the left anterior precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex, the left medial frontal and anterior cingulate cortex, the left superior and medial frontal sulcus, and the left inferior frontal cortex	B.

Cizadlo; Stephan Arndt; K. Rezai; G. L. Watkins; L. L. Ponto; R. D. Hichwa. II. PET studies of memory: novel versus practiced free recall of word lists. NeuroImage 2(4):296-305, 1995. PMID: 9343614. WOBIB: 85.
Most subjects also showed significant activation of the left anterior orbitomedial, anterior middle frontal, precuneus, cuneus, and posterior inferior parietal cortices, and the right posterior cingulate and motor cortices	R. J. Maddock; A. S. Garrett; Michael H. Buonocore. Remembering familiar people: the posterior cingulate cortex and autobiographical memory retrieval. Neuroscience 104(3):667-76, 2001. PMID: 11440800.

Maquet; J. Peters; J. Aerts; G. Delfiore; C. Degueldre; A. Luxen; G. Franck. Functional neuroanatomy of human rapid-eye-movement sleep and dreaming. Nature 383(6596):163-6, 1996. PMID: 8774879. WOBIB: 96.
Regions more active in retrieval than encoding included bilateral inferior parietal cortex, bilateral precuneus, right frontal polar cortex, right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and right inferior frontal/insular cortex	K. B. McDermott; J. G. Ojemann; Steven E. Petersen; J. M. Ollinger; A. Z. Snyder; E. Akbudak; T. E. Conturo; Marcus E. Raichle. Direct comparison of episodic encoding and retrieval of words: an event-related fMRI study. Memory 7(5-6):661-78, 1999. PMID: 10659091. WOBIB: 106.
Evaluative judgment produced significant activation in the anterior frontomedian cortex (BA 10/9), the inferior precuneus (BA 23/31), and the left inferior prefrontal cortex (BA 45/47)	Stefan Zysset; Oswald Huber; Evelyn Ferstl; D. Y. von Cramon. The anterior frontomedian cortex and evaluative judgment: an fMRI study. NeuroImage 15(4):983-91, 2002. PMID: 11906238. DOI: 10.1006/nimg.2001.1008. WOBIB: 121.
The results show a functional dissociation between the activations in the anterior frontomedian cortex and in the inferior precuneus	Stefan Zysset; Oswald Huber; Evelyn Ferstl; D. Y. von Cramon. The anterior frontomedian cortex and evaluative judgment: an fMRI study. NeuroImage 15(4):983-91, 2002. PMID: 11906238. DOI: 10.1006/nimg.2001.1008. WOBIB: 121.
RESULTS: A decrease in measures of benzodiazepine receptor binding (DV) was found in left hippocampus and precuneus in panic disorder patients relative to controls	J. D. Bremner; R. B. Innis; T. White; M. Fujita; D. Silbersweig; A. W. Goddard; L. Staib; E. Stern; A. Cappiello; S. Woods; R. Baldwin; D. S. Charney. SPECT [I-123]iomazenil measurement of the benzodiazepine receptor in panic disorder. Biological Psychiatry 47(2):96-106, 2000. PMID: 10664825. WOBIB: 126.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings of a decrease in left hippocampal and precuneus benzodiazepine receptor binding may be related to alterations in benzodiazepine receptor binding, or other factors including changes in GABAergic transmission or possible endogenous benzodiazepine compounds	J. D. Bremner; R. B. Innis; T. White; M. Fujita; D. Silbersweig; A. W. Goddard; L. Staib; E. Stern; A. Cappiello; S. Woods; R. Baldwin; D. S. Charney.

Focused episodic memory shares some components of this circuit (inferior frontal and precuneus), which may reflect the time-linked components of both aspects of episodic memory, and which permit human beings to experience personal identity, consciousness, and self-awareness	Nancy C. Andreasen; Daniel S. O'Leary; Ted Cizadlo; Stephan Arndt; Karim Rezai; G. Leonard Watkins; Laura L. Ponto; Richard D. Hichwa.
