`Theory of mind' and the prefrontal cortex

Tim Shallice

Ten years ago there was little knowledge of the functions of the subregions of the human prefrontal cortex (see Fuster, 1989). Over the last 10 years there has been a great change in the amount of information available on the topic. The major source has been functional imaging. The journals now contain a flood of studies on a variety of different types of task where there are significant differences in activation in complex patterns across prefrontal regions. Thus, a process such as episodic memory (autobiographical memory), previously thought not to be strongly related to frontal functions, now seems to involve five, if not six, anterior . . .
