Abstract:

Haroush and Williams trained pairs of monkeys to play in a prisoner’s dilemma game, a model of social interactions. Recording from the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), they find neurons whose activity reflects the anticipation of the opponent’s yet unknown choice, which may be important in guiding animals’ performance in the game.
