Neural correlates of social cognition

The objective of this presentation is to conceptualize social cognition comprising self-other-distinction and self-other-exchange from the perspectives of neurophilosophy, cognitive neuroscience, and psychiatry. This includes
(1) the conceptualisation of the relation between both cognitive domains assuming a complementary relation between self-other-distinction and -exchange,
(2) the overview of the neural correlates of social cognition in relation to each other and to the default mode of brain function
(3) the reconstruction of mental disorders in a metapathology framework integrating psychopathology and neuropathology.
