Medial prefrontal cortex is selectively involved in response selection using visual context in the background.
The exact roles of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in conditional choice behavior are unknown and a visual contextual response selection task was used for examining the issue. Inactivation of the mPFC severely disrupted performance in the task. mPFC inactivations, however, did not disrupt the capability of perceptual discrimination for visual stimuli. Normal response selection was also obse...
متن کاملdopaminergic activity in the medial prefrontal cortex modulates fear conditioning
the purpose of the present study was to determine the role of medial prefrontal cortex (mpfc) dopaminergic system in fear conditioning response considering individual differences. animals were initially counterbalanced and classified based on open field test, and then were given a single infusion of the dopamine agonist, amphetamine (amph) and antagonist, clozapine (clz) into the medial prefron...
متن کاملThe medial prefrontal cortex is involved in spatial memory retrieval under partial-cue conditions.
Brain circuits involved in pattern completion, or retrieval of memory from fragmented cues, were investigated. Using different versions of the Morris water maze, we explored the roles of the CA3 subregion of the hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in spatial memory retrieval under various conditions. In a hidden platform task, both CA3 and mPFC lesions disrupted memory retrieval...
متن کاملThe Study of Apomorphine Effects and Heterogeneity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex on the Dopaminergic Behaviors of Rats
Objective(s) While the nucleus accumbens and the striatum have received much attention regarding their roles in stereotyped behaviors, the role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has not been investigated to the same degree. Few studies have reported the role of the mPFC in dopaminergic induction of locomotor hyperactivity. The mPFC is a heterogeneous area (the anterior cingulated, prelimbi...
متن کاملApparent encoding of sequential context in rat medial prefrontal cortex is accounted for by behavioral variability.
Simple sequences can be represented via asymmetrically linked neural assemblies, provided that the elements of the sequence are unique. When elements repeat, however (e.g., A-B-C-B-A), the same element belongs to two separate "sequential contexts," and a more complex encoding mechanism is required. To enable correct sequence performance, some neural structure must provide a disambiguating signa...
