• Conclusions The findings of this study underscore the impairments in social cognition and theory-of-mind in people with autism, in particular their difficulty in attributing intentions to social agents. Since we did not find any group difference in activation in MPFC in this study, the findings re-ignite the debate about the relative role of temporoparietal junction and medial prefrontal cortex in theory-of-mind.
