Research project funded by NIMH to study neural mechanisms of social gaze interactions focusing on orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala using non-human primate models.
Description
This project investigates the causal contributions of the orbitofrontal cortex, the basolateral amygdala, and their communication in real-life face-to-face social gaze interactions. It aims to understand the neural circuits involved in social gaze behavior, particularly the roles of the orbitofrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala, and how their interaction affects social gaze behavior.
