Social and emotional attachment in the neural representation of faces (2004, positive): “Although the increased neural responses in these areas to personally familiar faces could be due to any combination of these factors, previous research on the anterior paracingulate, the posterior superior temporal sulcus, and the posterior cingulate/precuneus has linked these areas to the represent”

Theory of mind: The state of the art* (2018, background): “These regions are recruited when adults engage in mental-reasoning tasks and they are impaired in autistic adults (for reviews see (Gallagher & Frith, 2003; Saxe, Carey, & Kanwisher, 2004).”
Ventromedial prefrontal volume predicts understanding of others and social network size (2011, background): “These include regions of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) (Gallagher and Frith, 2003), temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) (Saxe and Kanwisher, 2003), superior temporal sulcus (STS) (Frith and Frith, 2003), and frontal pole (FP) (Decety and Lamm, 2007; Gallagher et al., 2000; Saxe, 2006; Saxe et…”
The neural correlates of maternal and romantic love (2004, background): “By contrast, the dorsally located region was preferentially active with romantic love (weaker with maternal love) and lies ventral (though not overlapping) to one of the ‘theory of mind’ regions (Gallagher and Frith, 2003) and anterior (and not overlapping) to a region involved in the experience of ”

Uniquely human social cognition. (2006, background): “Triadic attention and the medial prefrontal cortices On the basis of the first functional imaging investigations, many authors speculated that the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) was the unique neural substrate of reasoning about representational mental states [27].”
Understanding others' actions and goals by mirror and mentalizing systems: A meta-analysis (2009, positive): “According to some authors, this sets the mentalizing system apart as a relatively high-level cognitive process (e.g., Amodio and Frith, 2006; Gallagher and Frith, 2003).”
Positivity: The Dispositional Basis of Happiness (2016, background): “The activity in the DMN appears to play a predominant role in identifying self-relevant stimuli by integrating cognitive and emotional processing, and in introspective self-referential processing, such as the appraisal and evaluation of the self-relevant stimuli (Gallagher and Frith 2003; Gusnard et”
