    Emotion and mood regulation critically depends on interactions between the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the amygdala. However, the detailed architecture of ACC projections to their major targets, the basal (BA) and accessory (AcBA) basal nuclei of the amygdala, remains unclear. To address this issue, a combined retrograde and anterograde tracing with viral vectors were performed in macaques of either sex to map the projection patterns from the pregenual (pgACC), subgenual (sgACC), and dorsal (dACC) subareas. Data revealed that ACC neurons projecting to the BA arose predominantly from the superficial layers (II/III) of all subareas and the deep layers (V/VI) of the sgACC, whereas ACC neurons projecting to the AcBA originated mainly in the deep layers of the sgACC and dACC. The present study defines the topographic and layer-specific organization of ACC-amygdala connectivity in primates and subserves to provide an anatomical basis for future causal and translational approaches, such as targeted interventions against ACC-related mood disorders.Significance Statement Emotion and mood regulation critically depends on interactions between the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the amygdala, and their dysfunctions have been implicated in mood disorders such as depression. However, the detailed organization of primate ACC-amygdala circuitry remains to be fully understood. Notably, the existence of projections from the pregenual ACC (pgACC) to the basal nucleus of the amygdala (BA) has been controversial. Using viral vector-based neural tracings in macaques, we have identified a distinct pgACC-BA pathway and shown that this pathway arises predominantly from the superficial layers of the cortex. Such unexpected laminar origin, atypical for cortico-subcortical projections, reveals a previously unrecognized circuit architecture and challenges prevailing models of cortico-amygdala linkage involved in mood disorders.

    Given their high sociality and close evolutionary distance to humans, monkeys are an essential animal model for unraveling the biological mechanisms underlying human social behavior and elucidating the pathogenesis of diseases exhibiting abnormal social behavior. However, behavioral analysis of naturally behaving monkeys requires manual counting of various behaviors, which has been a bottleneck due to problems in throughput and objectivity. Here, we developed a three-dimensional markerless motion capture system that used multi-view data for robust tracking of individual monkeys and accurate reconstruction of the three-dimensional poses of multiple monkeys living in groups. Validation analysis in two monkey groups revealed that the system enabled the characterization of individual social dispositions and relationships through automated detection of eight basic social events. Analyses of social looking demonstrated its potential for investigating adaptive behaviors in a social group. These results suggest that this motion capture system will greatly enhance our ability to analyze primate social behavior.

    Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are indispensable animal models by virtue of the continuity of behavioral repertoires across primates, including humans. However, behavioral assessment at the laboratory level has so far been limited. Employing the application of three-dimensional (3D) pose estimation and the optimal integration of subsequent analytic methodologies, we demonstrate that our artificial intelligence (AI)-based approach has successfully deciphered the ethological, cognitive, and pathological traits of common marmosets from their natural behaviors. By applying multiple deep neural networks trained with large-scale datasets, we established an evaluation system that could reconstruct and estimate the 3D poses of the marmosets, a small NHP that is suitable for analyzing complex natural behaviors in laboratory setups. We further developed downstream analytic methodologies to quantify a variety of behavioral parameters beyond motion kinematics. We revealed the distinct parental roles of male and female marmosets through automated detections of food-sharing behaviors using a spatial-temporal filter on 3D poses. Employing a recurrent neural network to analyze 3D pose time series data during social interactions, we additionally discovered that marmosets adjusted their behaviors based on others' internal state, which is not directly observable but can be inferred from the sequence of others' actions. Moreover, a fully unsupervised approach enabled us to detect progressively appearing symptomatic behaviors over a year in a Parkinson's disease model. The high-throughput and versatile nature of an AI-driven approach to analyze natural behaviors will open a new avenue for neuroscience research dealing with big-data analyses of social and pathophysiological behaviors in NHPs.

    前部帯状皮質（ACC）は、前頭前野などの皮質領域から入力を受け、扁桃体や中心灰白質といった情動反応に関わる皮質下領域に投射しており、情動情報と認知的制御の橋渡しを担っていると考えられている。本研究では、ACCの各小領域に対して異なる蛍光タンパク質を発現するトレーサーを注入することで、ACCから情動関連領野に対する局所的な投射様式を調査し、ACCがハブとなる情動制御回路の解剖学的基盤を明らかにした。

    The medial frontal cortex (MFC), including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), is a key source of cortical projections to the amygdala, crucial for understanding the regulation of negative emotion, mood, and autonomic responses, often impaired in depression. MFC and amygdala can be subdivided into distinct subregions, and understanding their topographic projections may shed light on the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. Previous studies have shown that ACC projections to the amygdala predominantly arise from the subgenual (sgACC) and dorsal (dACC) regions, terminating within the basal nucleus. However, the projections from MFC to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) remain unclear. This study investigated the distribution of MFC neurons projecting to both the basomedial (BMA) and BLA using adeno-associated virus vectors. We found that MFC subregions projecting to BMA and BLA were largely segregated, except for sgACC, which projects to both. Notably, most of projections to BMA originate from layer V/VI, while projections to the BMA primarily originate from layers II/III of the perigenual (pgACC). Anterograde tracing from ACC subregions also revealed distinct topographic patterns projecting into the periaqueductal gray (PAG). Rodent studies showed similar fronto-limbic projection patterns. These findings suggest that different ACC regions may regulate emotion and mood via projections to specific subnuclei of the basal amygdala and PAG.
