AB  - The perception of self and others is a key aspect of social cognition. In order 
      to investigate the neurobiological basis of this distinction we reviewed two 
      classes of task that study self-awareness and awareness of others (theory of 
      mind, ToM). A reliable task to measure self-awareness is the recognition of one's 
      own face in contrast to the recognition of others' faces. False-belief tasks are 
      widely used to identify neural correlates of ToM as a measure of awareness of 
      others. We performed an activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis, using the 
      fMRI literature on self-face recognition and false-belief tasks. The brain areas 
      involved in performing false-belief tasks were the medial prefrontal cortex 
      (MPFC), bilateral temporo-parietal junction, precuneus, and the bilateral middle 
      temporal gyrus. Distinct self-face recognition regions were the right superior 
      temporal gyrus, the right parahippocampal gyrus, the right inferior frontal 
      gyrus/anterior cingulate cortex, and the left inferior parietal lobe. Overlapping 
      brain areas were the superior temporal gyrus, and the more ventral parts of the 
      MPFC. We confirmed that self-recognition in contrast to recognition of others' 
      faces, and awareness of others involves a network that consists of separate, 
      distinct neural pathways, but also includes overlapping regions of higher order 
      prefrontal cortex where these processes may be combined. Insights derived from 
      the neurobiology of disorders such as autism and schizophrenia are consistent 
      with this notion.
