Neuronal reference frames for social decisions in primate frontal cortex
Open accessAbstract
Social decisions are crucial for the success of individuals and the groups that they comprise. Group members respond vicariously to benefits obtained by others, and impairments in this capacity contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and sociopathy. We examined the manner in which neurons in three frontal cortical areas encoded the outcomes of social decisions as monkeys performed a reward-allocation task. Neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) predominantly encoded rewards that were delivered to oneself. Neurons in the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACCg) encoded reward allocations to the other monkey, to oneself or to both. Neurons in the anterior cingulate sulcus (ACCs) signaled reward allocations to the other monkey or to no one. In this network of received (OFC) and foregone (ACCs) reward signaling, ACCg emerged as an important nexus for the computation of shared experience and social reward. Individual and species-specific variations in social decision-making might result from the relative activation and influence of these areas.

“Electrophysiological recordings and fMRI studies in macaques have revealed distinct contributions of the different subdivisions of the mPFC region to social cognition, from social valuation, to processing social interactions, to social communication and learning from others (Chang et al., 2013; Haroush and Williams, 2…”

“For example, compared to other regions of the ACC, a relatively large proportion of neurons in the ACCg of macaques respond solely to the reward outcome of others in a modified dictator game (Chang et al., 2013).”
BackgroundSeven computations of the social brain

“Moreover, neuroimaging studies in humans suggest an important division between social and nonsocial subregions within the ACC, namely the sulcus (ACCs) and gyrus (ACCg) (Chang et al., 2013; Apps et al., 2016; Joiner et al., 2017; Kendal et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
