The majority of individuals evaluate themselves as superior to average. This is a cognitive bias known as the “pranašumas iliuzija. “Tai iliuzija helps us to have hope for the future and is deep-rooted in the process of human evolution. In this study, we examined the default states of neural and molecular systems that generate this iliuzija, Naudojant resting-state functional MRI and PET. Resting-state functional connectivity between the frontal cortex and striatum regulated by inhibitory dopaminergic neurotransmission determines individual levels of the pranašumas iliuzija. Our findings help elucidate how this key aspect of the human mind is biologically determined, and identify potential molecular and neural targets for treatment for depressive realism.
