Neurocognitive networks implicated in self-representation
Network	Key nodes	Aspects of self-representation	Result of down-regulation	Relevant studies
Default Mode Network (DMN)	Posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), inferior parietal lobule (IPL)	Narrative self; mental time-travel; judgement, planning, and goals	Dissolution of narrative/cognitive self (personality, history, goals, ownership of thoughts); compromised binding of embodied to narrative representations	Carhart-Harris et al. (2012); Palhano-Fontes et al. (2015); Bouso et al. (2015); Tagliazucchi et al. (2016); Speth et al. (2016)
Salience Network (SLN)	Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), anterior insular cortex (AIC)	Embodied self; emotional feeling; salience	Dissolution of embodied self (changes to body boundaries, spatial self-location, personal relevance of emotional feelings)	Lebedev et al. (2015); Tagliazucchi et al. (2016)
