This study aims to elucidate the neural network mechanisms that control social distance dynamics in rodent and primate models. By measuring and analyzing multilevel indicators (neural, physiological, and behavioral) during circuit manipulation, we aim to identify biomarkers linked to circuit activity, and contribute to the pathological diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders based on circuit disorders.
