Resting-state EEG and fMRI evidence in narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder

Key Points

• This review aims to explore the neural correlates of narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder using resting-state EEG and fMRI evidence.
• Systematic review of existing literature on resting-state EEG and fMRI studies related to narcissism.
• Analysis of brain imaging techniques to assess neural activity associated with narcissistic traits.
• Comparison of findings across different studies to identify consistent patterns.
• Narcissism is linked to distinct neural patterns observed in resting-state EEG and fMRI data.
• Findings indicate alterations in brain areas related to self-referential processing and emotional regulation.
• Consistent neural correlates support the notion of narcissistic traits being rooted in specific brain activity.
