Prefrontal and Amygdalar Mechanisms of Live Social Gaze Interaction
Project Summary Social interactions are marked by contingent and dynamic gaze exchanges among individuals, and these exchanges powerfully shape inter-individual communication and coordinated social behaviors. Consequentially, divergent social gaze interactions frequently lead to challenges in gathering and processing information from others and further disrupt other social cognition. An excellent use of a non-human primate model is to study neural circuits underlying contingent and dynamic social gaze, and test for their causal contributions. We have shown that interacting with a real partner leads to drastically different social gaze dynamics compared to observing the same conspecific in…
