Processes of believing are thought to have an important impact on the control of human behavior. Recently, neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies have shown that believe processes involve brain areas known to be involved in emotion-related and cognitive processing. But there is a discrepancy between the increasing interest in empirical research and the lack of coherent terminology and conceptualization. We will show that in processes of believing, the medial frontal cortex plays a critical role within a widespread cortico-subcortical network owing to its role in valuation of internal and external events and in subjective control of action. Also, we will describe a model of processes of believing that integrates the divergent neurophysiological and conceptual aspects as a starting point for further interdisciplinary research questions.
相信的过程被认为对人类行为的控制有重要影响。最近，神经影像学和神经生理学研究表明，相信的过程涉及已知涉及与情绪相关和认知处理的脑区。但是，在对实证研究的兴趣日益增加的同时，却缺乏连贯的术语和概念化。我们将表明，在相信的过程中，内侧前额叶皮层在广泛的皮质下网络中起着关键作用，因为它在评估内部和外部事件以及主观控制行动方面发挥作用。此外，我们将描述一个相信的过程模型，将不同的神经生理学和概念方面整合在一起，作为进一步跨学科研究问题的起点。
