Subclaims¶

q3 i? ACCg neurons encode other's reward outcomes (some exclusively), and prediction errors about another person's choices are found in ACCg but not ACCs. → Jessica Joiner 2017 q3 i? Lesioning ACCg but not ACCs abolishes social valuation in monkeys, indicating a causal contribution of ACCg to social cognition. → Jessica Joiner 2017

q3 · i? · review · r2

Review of electrophysiology, neuroimaging, and lesion studies. Monkey ACCg neurons in a social reward allocation task exclusively encoded self reward, other's reward, or both; lesioning "ACCg, but not the ACC sulcus (ACCs), abolishes social valuation in monkeys".

"prediction errors related to the choices made by another person are found in the ACCg but not in the ACCs."
