| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated dynamic representational aspects of self-actions and others' actions in the macaque brain. In the medial frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex, the neuronal representation of self-actions was strongly influenced by the presence or absence of other individuals ('social context'). Moreover, the neuronal representation of others' actions was affected not only by such social contexts, but also by the appropriateness of others' actions. Furthermore, there was a significant paucity of other-action representation in an animal displaying a social monitoring impairment. These findings may provide important insights into the pathophysiological mechanism underlying atypical recognition of the self and others exhibited by people suffering from mental illness.
