Olfactory neuronal responses in the primate orbitofrontal cortex: analysis in an olfactory discrimination task.
1. The primate orbitofrontal cortex receives inputs from the primary olfactory (pyriform) cortex and also from the primary taste cortex. To investigate how olfactory information is encoded in the orbitofrontal cortex, the responses of single neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex and surrounding areas were recorded during the performance of an olfactory discrimination task. In the task, the delive...
متن کاملBasal forebrain dynamics during a tactile discrimination task.
The nucleus basalis (NB) is a cholinergic neuromodulatory structure that projects liberally to the entire cortical mantle and regulates information processing in all cortical layers. Here, we recorded activity from populations of single units in the NB as rats performed a whisker-dependent tactile discrimination task. Over 80% of neurons responded with significant modulation in at least one pha...
متن کاملTask-phase-specific dynamics of basal forebrain neuronal ensembles
Cortically projecting basal forebrain neurons play a critical role in learning and attention, and their degeneration accompanies age-related impairments in cognition. Despite the impressive anatomical and cell-type complexity of this system, currently available data suggest that basal forebrain neurons lack complexity in their response fields, with activity primarily reflecting only macro-level...
متن کاملOptogenetic activation of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons modulates neuronal excitability and sensory responses in the main olfactory bulb.
The main olfactory bulb (MOB) in mammals receives massive centrifugal input from cholinergic neurons in the horizontal limb of the diagonal band of Broca (HDB) in the basal forebrain, the activity of which is thought to be correlated with animal behaving states, such as attention. Cholinergic signals in the bulb facilitate olfactory discrimination and learning, but it has remained controversial...
متن کاملNeuronal responses related to reinforcement in the primate basal forebrain.
In the present study neurones recorded in the substantia innominata, the diagonal band of Broca and a periventricular region of the basal forebrain responded differentially to stimuli signalling the availability of fruit juice or saline obtained by making lick responses in two different visual discrimination tasks. The activity of certain neurones reflected the rewarding nature of stimuli used ...
