- • Theory of mind: Inferring mental states of others likely involves default mode network regions and posterior superior temporal sulcus
- • DMN: High overlap between proposed social brain regions and DMN regions processing semantic knowledge and internally directed cognition
- • Social brain modules: Subnetworks responsible for discrete social functions, such as facial processing, language, perception of biological motion, and anticipation of others’ behavior
