Abstract
⺠In normal ageing, disturbances in social cognition seem independent of a more general cognitive decline. ⺠When neurodegeneration spares brain areas underpinning social cognition, this ability is unaffected. ⺠Impairment in social cognition is related to increased vulnerability of the frontal lobes with ageing.
