So, what's happening at the level of the brain when we're updating our impressions?Using fMRI,or functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging,researchers have identified an extended network of brain regions that respond to new information that's inconsistent with initial impressions.These include areas typically associated with social cognition,attention,and cognitive control.Moreover, when updating impressions based on people's behaviors,activity in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the superior temporal sulcus correlates with perceptions of how frequently those behaviors occur in daily life.
