Helping a friend move house, donating to charity, volunteering assistance during a crisis. Humans and other species alike regularly undertake prosocial behaviors—actions that benefit others without necessarily helping ourselves. But how does the brain learn what acts are prosocial? Basile and colleagues show that removal of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) prevents monkeys from learning what actions are prosocial but does not stop them carrying out previously learned prosocial behaviors. This highlights that the ability to learn what actions are prosocial and choosing to perform helpful acts may be distinct cognitive processes, with only the former depending on ACC.

前扣带回皮层:学习奖励他人所必需的大脑系统?

帮助朋友搬家,向慈善机构捐款,在危机期间自愿提供帮助。人类和其他物种都定期进行亲社会行为,这些行为有益于他人,而不必帮助自己。但是大脑如何学习亲社会的行为呢?Basile及其同事表明,去除前扣带回皮质(ACC)可以阻止猴子了解哪些行为是亲社会的,但并不能阻止猴子进行以前学习的亲社会行为。这突显了学习哪些行为是亲社会的行为并选择执行有益行为的能力可能是不同的认知过程,只有前者取决于ACC。
