Although cognitive and personality studies have observed gender differences in
narcissism, the neural bases of these differences remain unknown. The current
study combined the voxel-based morphometry and resting state functional
connectivity (rsFC) analyses to explore the sex-specific neural basis of
narcissistic personality. The VBM results showed that the relationship between
narcissistic personality and regional gray matter volume (rGMV) differed between
sexes. Narcissistic scores had a significant positive correlation with the rGMV
of the right SPL in females, but not in males. Further analyses were conducted to
investigate the sex-specific relationship between rsFC and narcissism, using
right SPL/frontal eye fields (FEF) as the seed regions (key nodes of the dorsal
attention network, DAN). Interestingly, decreased anticorrelations between the
right SPL/FEF and areas of the precuneus and middle frontal gyrus (key nodes of
the the default mode network, DMN) were associated with higher narcissistic
personality scores in males, whereas females showed the opposite tendency. The
findings indicate that gender differences in narcissism may be associated with
differences in the intrinsic and dynamic interplay between the
internally-directed DMN and the externally-directed TPN. Morphometry and
functional connectivity analyses can enhance our understanding of the neural
basis of sex-specific narcissism.
