In humans and other animals, individuals can actively respond to the specific needs of others. However, the neural circuits supporting helping behaviors are underspecified. In recent work, identified a new role for the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the encoding and regulation of targeted helping behavior (allolicking) in mice.

大脑如何调节助人行为？


在人类和其他动物中，个体可以积极响应他人的特定需求。然而，支持帮助行为的神经回路尚不明确。在最近的工作中，确定了前扣带皮层 (ACC) 在编码和调节小鼠定向帮助行为（同种异体）中的新作用。
