The authors studied how neurons in three frontal cortical areas encode the outcomes of social decisions as monkeys performed a social reward allocation task. Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) neurons signaled received rewards, anterior cingulate (ACCs) neurons signaled forgone rewards, and the ACCg emerged as a key nexus for the computation of shared experience and social reward.
