Theory of mind (ToM), the ability to attribute mental states to others, is associated with medial prefrontal cortical (mPFC) activity and is impaired in schizophrenia. Olanzapine or clozapine but not typical antipsychotics or risperidone preferentially affect c-fos expression in mPFC in animals. We tested the hypothesis that schizophrenic patients treated with different antipsychotics would perform differently on ToM tasks. Groups receiving Typicals (n =23), Clozapine (n =18), Olanzapine (n =20) or Risperidone (n =23) and a Control group of healthy volunteers (n =24) were matched for age, gender, handedness and education. ToM functioning was assessed with picture sequence, second-order belief and faux-pas tests. Schizophrenic groups performed similarly to controls on non-ToM conditions. The Olanzapine and Clozapine groups performed similarly to Controls on ToM tasks. The Typicals and Risperidone groups performed worse than the other groups on ToM tasks. We concluded that ToM performance of schizophrenic patients is influenced by the antipsychotic they are taking. Our results suggest that olanzapine or clozapine but not typicals or risperidone may improve or protect ToM ability.
