(a) In the shifting values licking task, rats received access to one of two values of reward, with rewards alternating every 30 s. (b) Manipulation of reward value by changing either concentration …
Locations of all electrodes plotted in the horizontal plane. (a) Medial frontal cortex (MFC) (n = 10 rats; 160 electrodes) electrode arrays were localized around area 32 (A32D) and M2 (FrA) from 1 …
(a) Depiction of rat performing the shifting values licking task (left) and placement of recording arrays in the MFC and lateral frontal cortex (right). (b) Traces of simultaneous local field …
(a) Average lick-field coherence for local field potentials (LFPs) in MFC and OFC and licks for high and low concentration sucrose solutions and large and small fluid volumes. (b) Peak coherence in …
(a,e) Rats were implanted with a 2 × 8 electrode array in either MFC (a) or OFC (e); representative coronal sections are shown. (b,f) Event-related potentials during concentration and volume …
(a) Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded around licks (time 0) after LFP activity was filtered and z-scored. Peak-to-peak analysis was performed on the ERP centered around each lick with a …
(a) Rats participated in a modification of the shifting values licking task, called the blocked-interleaved task, in which they received alternating access to high and low concentrations of liquid …
Sessions were split into sequential 30 s windows and the various measures of licking behavior were plotted. An example from one of the rats is shown here. The plots in panel a depict high- and …
(a,d) Event-related potentials (ERPs) for licks of both rewards in medial frontal cortex (MFC) (a) and orbital frontal cortex (OFC) (d) remain unchanged during the interleaved portion of the task. (b…
Post hoc contrasts of statistically significant effects revealed by two-way ANOVA. Direct comparison of behavioral measures (a – total licks; b – lick rate) with MFC inter-trial coherences (ITCs) (c)…
(a) The three reward task is a variation of shifting values licking task but with a third reward introduced. In the first block of the task, rats experience the intermediate (8%) reward and low (4%) …
(a,d) Event-related potentials (ERPs) for each block of the task from MFC (a) and OFC (d). (b,e) Inter-trial coherence (ITC) values in MFC (b) and OFC (e) showed strongest 4–8 Hz phase locking for …
(a,b) Behavioral measures replotted with significance bars for each combination reward. MFC inter-trial coherences (ITCs) (c) did not show the exact same pattern as lick rate, which is different …
(a) If rewards are processed in an absolute manner, we expected to see a graded expression (in lick counts, lick rate, bout duration, or inter-trial coherence [ITC] values) of reward value where the …
