I've been thinking for some time about the neural correlates for social priming. One social priming task, for example, is the sentence unscrambling task of Srull & Wyer (1979) sentence unscrambling task that has been used in numerous studies. There are various versions for this sentence unscrambling task and one in particular is with the use of the subject vs. object pronouns "I" vs. "me".
I'm interested to know the following:
1) Is there any research on the neural correlates of social priming in general that you would recommend reading?
2) Is there any research on the neural representation of subject vs. object pronouns "I" vs. "me" that you would recommend reading?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Based on your "lightful enlightenment" I did not find any neural representations of subject vs. object pronouns "I" vs. "me" from Alexander Lowen, who was a therapist and not in brain science . Can you give an exact source, in science I
need to know what is true and what is not true, in other words, I need to check this out.
This might be very theoretically different that what you are asking, but the paper below could be a start. The study shows distinct neural mechanisms involved in experiential and narrative self-processing. It ties nicely into William James (1890) distinction between the I (experiential) and me (narrative) selves. Might be worth reading the abstract.
