claimThe medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the temporoparietal junction (TPJ) are involved in mentalizing and Theory of Mind (ToM).
referenceO. Blanke and S. Arzy published the article 'The out-of-body experience: disturbed self-processing at the temporo-parietal junction' in the journal The Neuroscientist in 2005.
claimLesions of the right temporoparietal junction (TPJ) produce dissociative, out-of-body experiences.
claimImagined self-action relative to imagined experimenter action strongly activates the inferior parietal lobule (IPL), including the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), the somatosensory cortex, and the precuneus.
claimThe right DLPFC, dorsal ACC, and the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) are associated with modulating and maintaining response readiness in preparation for an impending stimulus.
claimBrain areas involved in mentalizing include the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), temporal pole (TP), anterior insular cortex (AIC), precuneus, and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC).
claimThe posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS), including the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), is involved in perceiving biological motion and orienting toward eye gaze.
claimExpert meditators show increased activation in the amygdala, right temporoparietal junction (TPJ), and right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) in response to emotional human vocalizations compared to novices during compassion meditation.
claimTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or lesions of the right temporoparietal junction (TPJ) disrupt the sense of ownership or agency.
claimAndrews-Hanna et al. (2010) demonstrated that a first-person perspective (FPP) episodic judgment task concerning one's present situation activates the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) subsystem, which includes the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), lateral temporal cortex (LTC), and temporal pole (TP).

claimArtificial stimulation of the temporoparietal junction can produce out-of-body experiences, where an individual feels their body is in a different location or perceives the world from a novel perspective, such as from the ceiling.
claimThe temporoparietal junction is a region of the cortex that mediates the construction of body awareness.
claimDamage to the temporoparietal junction can cause distorted body awareness, such as the sensation of having an elongated torso.

claimShamanic ritual practices disrupt the integrative function of the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) through the effects of excessive drumming and dancing.
claimThe neural correlates of out-of-body experiences involve a disruption of a specific Default Mode Network (DMN) area, the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), which integrates bodily and sensory modalities.
claimExtensive exercise overwhelms the vestibular system, resulting in habituation and a shutdown of the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) and sensory system, which leads to a loss of functional connectivity with motor and somatic functions and a dis-engagement of the self-image and awareness from the visual field and body, allowing for the experience of movement independent of the physical body.
