What makes the dorsomedial frontal cortex active during reading the mental states of others?
Open accessAbstract
The dorsomedial frontal part of the cerebral cortex is consistently activated when people read the mental states of others, such as their beliefs, desires, and intentions, the ability known as having a theory of mind (ToM) or mentalizing. This ubiquitous finding has led many researchers to conclude that the dorsomedial frontal cortex (DMFC) constitutes a core component in mentalizing networks. Despite this, it remains unclear why the DMFC becomes active during ToM tasks. We argue that key psychological and behavioral aspects in mentalizing are closely associated with DMFC functions. These include executive inhibition, distinction between self and others, prediction under uncertainty, and perception of intentions, all of which are important for predicting others' intention and behavior. We review the literature supporting this claim, ranging in fields from developmental psychology to human neuroimaging and macaque electrophysiology. Because perceiving intentions in others' actions initiates mentalizing and forms the basis of virtually all types of social interaction, the fundamental issue in social neuroscience is to determine the aspects of physical entities that make an observer perceive that they are intentional beings and to clarify the neurobiological underpinnings of the perception of intentionality in others' actions.

The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex is functionally involved when an individual reflects on unobservable mental states of others, known as social person knowledge, or predicts them under uncertainty.
“The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex is functionally involved when an individual reflects on unobservable mental states of others, known as social person knowledge ( Dixon et al., 2017 ;Wagner et al., 2012 ), or predicts them under uncertainty (for a review see Isoda and Noritake, 2013 ).”

This evaluation is made particularly with regard to outcomes that can potentially affect one's well-being and either facilitate or hinder one's goals.
“This evaluation is made particularly with regard to outcomes that can potentially affect one's well-being and either facilitate or hinder one's goals ( Isoda and Noritake, 2013 ).”
From Male brain processing of the body odor of ovulating women compared to that of pregnant women (2021) · cites this paper as Isoda and Noritake, 2013
The Executive inhibition section discusses suppressing immediate behavior to achieve a later goal, and Prediction under uncertainty discusses decisions and anxiety. Neither addresses the claimed evaluation of outcomes according to their effects on well-being or whether they facilitate or hinder goals. Searches for those terms and for evaluation of consequences found no supporting passage in our copy; page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
