TL;DR: Results of work with brain-damaged patients constitute one line of evidence that the emotional component of judgements is not to be dismissed.

TL;DR: Evidence in the schizophrenia data was provided to support the hypothesis of a relationship between theory of mind and social conditional reasoning and provided further support for the idea that in patients with schizophrenia at least, judgements about the mental states of others are achieved using analogical reasoning.

TL;DR: It is concluded that buspirone-induced alterations in regional cerebral blood flow are better understood, not in relation to the known distribution of monoamine neurotransmitter systems (particularly ascending 5-HT projections), but rather in relationto putative neuronal circuits possibly many synapses “downstream” of buspir one's pharmacological site of action.

TL;DR: The results indicate that, in the current experimental paradigm involving joint control of a visually presented object with joystick movements, the level of cooperation affected brain networks involved in action control, but not mentalizing.

TL;DR: Brain imaging reveals that, in dyslexics, the visual-motion area of the brain fails to activate, which may be a marker for a deviation in brain function which remained largely invisible until complex writing systems evolved.
