There have been many functional imaging studies of the brain basis of theory of mind (ToM)
skills, but the findings are heterogeneous and implicate anatomical regions as far apart as …

We review nine current neurocognitive theories of how theory of mind (ToM) is implemented
in the brain and evaluate them based on the results from a recent meta-analysis by, where …

Brain imaging has been immensely valuable in showing us how the mind works. However,
many of our ideas about how the mind works come from disciplines like experimental …

Abstract Theory of mind (ToM) refers to the ability to represent one's own and others'
cognitive and affective mental states. Recent imaging studies have aimed to disentangle the …

We meta-analyzed imaging studies on theory of mind and formed individual task groups
based on stimuli and instructions. Overlap in brain activation between all task groups was …

It is easy to miss an extraordinary moment while it is happening. In the early 2000s, access
to non-invasive human neuroimaging was spreading, and researchers were gaining the …

What is the nature of our ability to understand and reason about the beliefs of others—the
possession of a'theory of mind', or ToM? Here, we review findings from imaging and lesion …

Abstract Language comprehension and the ability to infer others' thoughts (theory of mind
[ToM]) are interrelated during development and language use. However, neural evidence …

Previous functional imaging studies have explored the brain regions activated by tasks
requiring 'theory of mind'—the attribution of mental states. Tasks used have been primarily …

The underlying mechanisms and neuroanatomical correlates of theory of mind (ToM), the
ability to make inferences on others' mental states, remain largely unknown. While …
