Approach to brain mechanisms of "Sociality"-Roles of the monkey anterior cingulate cortex in the performance of competitive games

我关注的是前扣带皮层（ACC），它被认为对“社会性”很重要。当一只猴子和对手玩竞争性视频射击游戏时，我记录了前扣带皮层的神经元活动。我们发现(1)竞争/非竞争情境的差异，(2)对手的身份或活力，以及(3)游戏的赢/输在行为和神经元层面上都有表现。这些发现暗示了前扣带皮层对“社会性”的重要性。

I focused on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is considered to be important for "Sociality". I recorded neuronal activity from the ACC while a monkey played competitive video shooting games with a rival. We found that differences in (1) competitive/noncompetitive situation, (2) identity or animacy of the rival, and (3) winning/losing of the game were represented at both behavioral and neuronal levels. These findings implicate the importance of ACC for "Sociality".
