Abstract
⺠We examine the neural correlates of curiosity. ⺠Curious monkeys had a greater density of gray matter in the precuneus. ⺠The precuneus is associated with integrated tasks such as memory and self-awareness. ⺠Monitoring self-awareness may play a role in cognitive processes mediating curiosity.
