摘要:Theory of mind (TOM) refers to the ability to attribute mental states to others, and to predict and explain their behavior based on those psychological contents. The study of TOM in neurodegenerative diseases has been the focus of a growing body of research for the last 15 years. Indeed, the study of TOM abilities in those conditions is interesting in multiple ways. Their cerebral substrates often involve structures of the social brain, but with different patterns according to etiologies. Moreover, those conditions often lead to social and behavioral disturbances. This article offers a review of studies of TOM abilities in cortical neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on highlighting their specific patterns of disturbances, and the links with general cognitive status and behavioral disorders.
