The neuronal basis and ontogeny of empathy and mind reading: review of literature and implications for future research. (2006, background): “ Frith and Frith (2003) suggested that this area may subserve the formation of decoupled representations of beliefs about the world, ‘‘decoupled’’ in the sense that they are decoupled from the actual state of the world and that they may or may not correspond to reality.”
Mirror neuron: a neurological approach to empathy (2005, background): “Brain imaging studies also tend to indicate the possibility of an involvement of many areas in this function (Blakemore and Decety 2001; Frith and Frith 2003; Gallagher and Frith 2003).”
Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “The medial prefrontal cortex and midline cortical structures are related to perspective taking as well as self-related processing and awareness (71, 175), the temporal pole and amygdala to social scripts, emotions, and judgments (71, 73), and the temporoparietal junction, along with medial prefronta”
Ventromedial prefrontal volume predicts understanding of others and social network size (2011, methodology): “In addition to findings in the TPJ and vMPFC, our data showed correlations between intentionality performance and gray matter volume in the frontal pole and STS, both areas that have been linked to calculation of what a person is likely to do or think (Gallagher and Frith, 2003).”
Impaired self-awareness and theory of mind: An fMRI study of mentalizing in alexithymia (2006, neutral): “…cortex (MPFC), the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), and the temporal pole (TP), a neuronal activity pattern characteristic of subjects who are known to have a deficit in the capacity for mentalizing, such as patients with Asperger’s syndrome (Castelli et al., 2002; Frith and Frith, 2003).”
Brain correlates of aesthetic judgment of beauty (2006, background): “A further area specifically co-activated with BA 10 in aesthetic judgment, the temporal pole, has been suggested to be concerned with generating, on the basis of past experience, a wider semantic and emotional context for the material currently being processed (Frith and Frith, 2003).”
Executive dysfunction in autism. (2004, background): “This ability develops rapidly in young children [ 5 ], but at an extremely slow rate in autism [6].”
Do humans have two systems to track beliefs and belief-like states? (2009, neutral): “Human infants and nonhuman animals”
Development of the adolescent brain: implications for executive function and social cognition. (2006, background): “In addition to executive functions, there is evidence that the prefrontal cortex is involved in several other high-level cognitive capacities, including selfawareness (Ochsner, 2004) and theory of mind ( Frith & Frith, 2003 ), that is the ability to understand other minds by attributing mental state”
The Default Network and Social Cognition (2015, background): “A key component of social cognition is the ability to infer the thoughts and feelings of other people, a process termedmentalizing (Frith & Frith, 2003).”
Cyberbullying among adolescent bystanders: role of the communication medium, form of violence, and empathy (2013, background): “Underlying this behaviour modification is the ability to ‘mentalise’ (Frith & Frith, 2003), which is unique to the cognitive aspect of empathetic responses.”
I Know You Are But What Am I?!: Neural Bases of Self- and Social Knowledge Retrieval in Children and Adults (2007, background): “Because regions in the MPFC have been associated with self-reflection and mentalizing (about oneself and others; e.g., D'Argembeau et al., 2005; Frith & Frith, 2003), one possible interpretation of the activation pattern seen in the MPFC is that it reflects less frequent self-reflective activity of…”
