Abstract

The relationship among self, mind and brain is not clearly known. Self’s subjective experiences of perception and cognition of words, feelings, thoughts etc. is supported by the integrity of human brain. The relationship between the self and the human brain activity is not understood. Recent experimental evidence suggests that the neural correlate of consciousness is located in certain parts of the corticothalamic system. However, it is not known specifically which parts of the human brain are involved in the human cognitive activity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used in the study of normalcy and psychiatric disorders. FMRI is applied in diagnosis and drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. In this study, the author analyzed results of published articles related to the above described fields to find the relationship among self, mind and body, and proposed the mechanism involved in the self, mind and brain in normalcy and psychiatric disorders.
