Theory of Mind (ToM) is a critical component of human social cognition that has not been found reliably in other primates, especially monkeys. Hayashi et al. (Cell Reports, 30, 4433-4444, 2020) used newly developed behavioral techniques to detect evidence for ToM in Japanese macaque monkeys and employed sophisticated neurobiological manipulations to implicate the medial prefrontal cortex is this capacity.
心理理论（Theory of Mind，ToM）是人类社会认知的一个关键组成部分，在其他灵长类动物中，特别是猴子中，尚未被可靠地发现。Hayashi 等人（Cell Reports，30，4433-4444，2020）使用新开发的行为技术在日本猕猴中检测到心理理论的证据，并采用复杂的神经生物学操作来暗示中前额叶皮层在这种能力中的作用。
