“…The authors reported impaired ToM skills in IPD patients compared with the healthy elderly population. Subsequent studies confirmed this finding, and suggested that, in contrast to bv-FTD, cognitive rather than affective ToM tends to be predominantly affected in IPD 105 106 110 123. Deficits in more general pragmatic communication skills and in higher-order abilities, such as identification of irony, have also been reported 101 124 125…”

“…Patients with advanced IPD were impaired on the cognitive ToM tasks, while there was no significant difference between early-stage IPD patients and controls on any of the ToM tasks. Although subsequent studies suggested that cognitive ToM deficits may also be present in early-stage IPD, patient cohorts in these studies had varying degrees of executive impairment 123 127 128…”

Social cognitive neuroscience is the study of the neurobiological systems underlying effective social behaviour. The neural processes supporting effective social interactions in everyday life and the consequences of dysfunction in these processes have been the focus of intense research over the last two decades. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the identification of social cognitive deficits in neurodegenerative conditions and their neural basis may provide a better understanding of the behavioural changes observed in these disorders. In addition, accumulating data suggest that detection of early impairment in social cognitive skills may aid in the early diagnosis of cognitive or behavioural impairment in some of these disorders, and may even play a role in the investigation of new therapeutic options. In this review, we outline the basic components of social cognitive processing, provide a systematic review of the literature pertaining to common neurodegenerative conditions, discuss current controversies and make recommendations for future research.

“…Multiple studies have demonstrated impaired social cognition in AD, including deficits in moral judgments and decision making (Torralva et al, 2000) and deficient reasoning regarding psychological versus physical causation (Verdon et al, 2007). Additionally, other patient populations including PSP, VaD and PD have been reported to have social cognitive changes to varying degrees (Allain et al, 2011; Bodden et al, 2010; Ghosh et al, 2012; Kawamura et al, 2007; Roca et al, 2010; Yu et al, 2012). However, a recent study directly comparing dementia groups revealed more severe social cognitive deficits in bvFTD as compared to non-FTD groups.…”

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) represents a spectrum of non-Alzheimer’s degenerative conditions associated with focal atrophy of the frontal and/or temporal lobes. Frontal and temporal regions of the brain have been shown to be strongly involved in executive function, social cognition and language processing and, thus, deficits in these domains are frequently seen in patients with FTD or may even be hallmarks of a specific FTD subtype ( i.e., relatively selective and progressive language impairment in primary progressive aphasia). In this review, we have attempted to delineate how language, executive function, and social cognition may contribute to the diagnosis of FTD syndromes, namely the behavioral variant FTD as well as the language variants of FTD including the three subtypes of primary progressive aphasia (PPA): non-fluent/agrammatic, semantic, and logopenic. This review also addresses the extent to which deficits in these cognitive areas contribute to the differential diagnosis of FTD versus AD. Finally, early clinical determinants of pathology are briefly discussed and contemporary challenges to the diagnosis of FTD are presented.

“…Exclusion criteria were: (1) the study topic is not ToM; and (2) studies focused on ToM in other population and with no relevant data about ToM in PD. Finally, 13 articles [31-43] were included in this review.…”

Human social interaction is essential in daily life and crucial for a promising life, especially in people who suffer from disease. Theory of Mind (ToM) is fundamental in social interaction and is described as the ability to impute the mental states of others in social situations. Studies have proposed that a complex neuroanatomical network that includes the frontal cortex mediates ToM. The primary neuropathology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the frontal-striatal system; therefore, patients with PD are expected to exhibit deficits in ToM. In this review, we summarize the current research with a particular focus on the patterns of impaired ToM, potential mediators of ToM, and the impact of ToM deficits on clinical disability in PD. Further studies to investigate the progression of ToM and its relationship with dementia in subjects in PD are needed.
