Outline of Annual Research Achievements

10頭のマカクザルを対象に3種類の非言語的誤信念課題の動画を見せて視聴中の視線を解析し、解析時間中の視聴部位を心の理論に基づく解答 (Target)とその逆方向 (Non-target) に分類し、どちらを最初に見たか (first look) と視聴時間 (DLTS) をRepeated-measures ANOVAを用いて検討した。その後、内側前頭前野のBroadmannの9野に相当する部位に抑制型DREADD (hM4Di) を注入し、リガンドであるCNOを注入して同様の実験を行った。First lookについては有意にTarget側を見ることが明らかになった (Repeated-measures ANOVA; p=0.047, N=20) 。また、DLTSについても有意に±0よりも正の値であり、Target側を長く注視していた (repeated-measures ANOVA; p=0.003, N=30) 。これによりマカクザルには心の理論がある可能性が示唆された。hM4Diによる心の理論への影響を検証したところ、hM4Di (+)CNO (+)では同様の解析でfirst look (p=0.573) 及びDLTS (p=0.609)ともに有意差を認めず、hM4Di (-) CNO (+)(first look: p=0.046, DLTS: p=0.0008)およびhM4Di (+) CNO (-) (first look: p=0.016, DLTS: p=0.041) の条件下ではいずれも有意差を認めた。以上よりマカクザルには心の理論がある可能性、及び内側前頭前野が心の理論の脳回路の一部である可能性が示唆された。
