Primates have evolved diverse cognitive capabilities to navigate their complex social world.
To understand how the brain implements critical social cognitive abilities, we describe …

Face perception, perhaps the most highly developed visual skill in humans, is mediated by a
distributed neural system in humans that is comprised of multiple, bilateral regions. We …

Gaze is an important component of social interaction. The function, evolution and
neurobiology of gaze processing are therefore of interest to a number of researchers. This …

During social interactions, people's eyes convey a wealth of information about their direction
of attention and their emotional and mental states. This review aims to provide a …

The ability to “mentalize,” that is to understand and manipulate other people's behavior in
terms of their mental states, is a major ingredient in successful social interactions. A …

Brothers (Brothers L. Concepts in Neuroscience 1990; 1: 27–51) proposed a network of
neural regions that comprise the “social brain”, which includes the amygdala. Since the …

Face perception requires representation of invariant aspects that underlie identity
recognition as well as representation of changeable aspects, such as eye gaze and …

The face communicates an impressive amount of visual information. We use it to identify its
owner, how they are feeling and to help us understand what they are saying. Models of face …

We report a series of experiments on social problem solving in chimpanzees, Pan
troglodytes. In each experiment a subordinate and a dominant individual were put into …

What is it that makes us human? This is one of the most challenging and important questions
we face. Our species' defining characteristic is language-we appear to be unique in the …
