Dissociable prefrontal networks for cognitive and affective theory of mind: a lesion study.
TLDR
While affective ToM was mostly impaired by VM damage, cognitive ToM wasn't as impaired by extensive prefrontal damage, suggesting that cognitive and affective mentalizing abilities are partly dissociable.About:

A developmental, mentalization-based approach to the understanding and treatment of borderline personality disorder.
Peter Fonagy,Patrick Luyten +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that BPD is primarily associated with a low threshold for the activation of the attachment system and deactivation of controlled mentalization, linked to impairments in the ability to differentiate mental states of self and other, which lead to hypersensitivity and increased susceptibility to contagion by other people's mental states.

Are there theory of mind regions in the brain? A review of the neuroimaging literature
TL;DR: The functional imaging findings suggest that there are several “core” regions in the network—including parts of the prefrontal cortex and superior temporal sulcus—while several more “peripheral’ regions may contribute to ToM reasoning in a manner contingent on relatively minor aspects of the ToM task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroanatomical and neurochemical bases of theory of mind.
TL;DR: A novel neurobiological model of theory of mind that incorporates both neuroanatomical and neurochemical levels of specificity is presented, which maintains that cognitive and affective aspects of ToM are subserved by dissociable, yet interacting, prefrontal networks.
