prefrontal cortex in the developing neuropathology of fvFTD. Damage to this region is …

A key aspect of social cognition is the ability to infer other people's mental states, thoughts
and feelings; referred to as 'theory of mind'(ToM). We tested the hypothesis that the changes …

The paper reviews convergent evidence on the ability to attribute mental states to one's self

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by
behavioural disorders that suggest abnormalities of emotional processing. Patients with the …

Background The relationship of executive function (EF) and theory of mind (ToM) deficits in
neurodegeneration is still debated. There is contradicting evidence as to whether these …

Traditional cognitive tests may not be sensitive for the early detection of executive and social
cognitive impairments in the behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia. The aim of this …

Abstract Theory of mind (ToM) refers broadly to our understanding of others' complex
emotions and mental states. Deficits in ToM are widely regarded as one of the key defining …
