Question 81 pts
In an experiment by Mitchell,Bannerjee and Macrae (20050, subjects were scanned while answering questions about photographs of other people (some involving mindreading: others not). Subsequently they were asked how similar the person was to themselves. The main result indicated that
the activation in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex was lower in mindreading versions of task
the activation in the amygdala was higher in mindreading versions of task
there was no difference in activation between groups.
the activation in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex was higher in mindreading versions of task
