人类存在一个专门用于社会交往的“社会脑”这一观点，已从脑成像研究中获得了相当多的支持，在较小程度上也从脑损伤研究中获得了支持。社会脑各个组成部分的具体作用开始显现。例如，杏仁核赋予面孔情感价值，使我们能够识别诸如恐惧和可信度等表情，而后上颞沟则预测当主体作用于世界时所产生的复杂轨迹的终点。给内侧前额叶皮质确定一个角色已被证明更加困难，当人们思考心理状态时该区域会持续被激活。我认为，当我们必须表征他人对我们自身心理状态的表征时，这个区域可能在交际行为所需的二阶表征中具有特殊作用。这些认知过程并非专门的社会过程，因为它们可应用于其他领域。然而，社会交往的复杂性促使这些认知过程达到了更高的复杂程度。
The notion that there is a ‘social brain’ in humans specialized for social interactions has received considerable support from brain imaging and, to a lesser extent, from lesion studies. Specific roles for the various components of the social brain are beginning to emerge. For example, the amygdala attaches emotional value to faces, enabling us to recognize expressions such as fear and trustworthiness, while the posterior superior temporal sulcus predicts the end point of the complex trajectories created when agents act upon the world. It has proved more difficult to assign a role to medial prefrontal cortex, which is consistently activated when people think about mental states. I suggest that this region may have a special role in the second-order representations needed for communicative acts when we have to represent someone else's representation of our own mental state. These cognitive processes are not specifically social, since they can be applied in other domains. However, these cognitive processes have been driven to ever higher levels of sophistication by the complexities of social interaction.
