Optogenetic ACC inactivation suppresses worker’s lever-pressing under social setting. (A) A representative eNpHR3.0-mCherry expression in ACC. (B) Alternating 5 min light on/off stimulations for 30 min. (C) A worker’s movement trajectories (5 min) during group and individual tests with (ON) or without (OFF) light-stimulation. (D) Light-induced lever-press suppression (% reduction from no-stimulation). ^#P < 0.05 (difference from zero, one sample t test); *P < 0.05 (difference between behavioral tests, one-tailed paired t test). Scattered small circles/triangles, individual animal data; bar graphs, group means; and error bars, SEMs.
