In the present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we investigated the role of different brain regions in separate aspects of mentalizing. Young females aged 18-19 years were asked to imagine a social situation and answer a question. Perspective, self and other, as well as content, emotion, and behavior, were varied. Activation was observed in the left precuneus, left temporoparietal junction, left medial prefrontal cortex and left middle temporal gyrus. Left precuneus and left temporoparietal junction were recruited more when taking the perspective of other than when taking the perspective of self. Medial prefrontal areas might be more involved during mentalizing about emotion versus baseline than about behavior versus baseline.
在目前的功能磁共振成像（fMRI）研究中，我们研究了不同脑区在心理化不同方面的作用。我们要求 18-19 岁的年轻女性想象一种社会情境并回答一个问题。从观点、自我和他人以及内容、情绪和行为等方面进行了变化。观察到左楔前叶、左颞顶联合区、左内侧前额叶和左中颞回的激活。当从他人的角度而不是从自己的角度看待问题时，左楔前叶和左颞顶联合区的激活更多。在情绪方面进行心理化时，内侧前额叶区域的参与程度可能高于行为方面。
