Effects of orbitofrontal, infralimbic and prelimbic cortical lesions on serial spatial reversal learning in the rat
Abstract
Background Recent evidence suggests that the neural correlates of reversal learning are localised to the orbitofrontal cortex whereas studies on the contribution of the medial prefrontal cortex to this capacity have produced equivocal results. This study examines the behavioural effects of selective lesions centred on orbitofrontal, infralimbic and prelimbic cortex on serial spatial reversal learning in the rat.Methods Rats were trained on a novel instrumental two-lever spatial discrimination and reversal learning task, measuring both 'cognitive flexibility' and constituent processes including response inhibition. Both levers were presented, only one of which was reinforced. The rat was required to respond on the reinforced lever under a fixed ratio 3 schedule of reinforcement. Following attainment of criterion, a series of reversals was presented.Results Bilateral excitotoxic lesions of the orbitofrontal cortex did not affect retention of a preoperatively acquired spatial discrimination but did impair reversal learning. This deficit manifested as increased perseverative responding on the previously correct lever. Although impairments were evident during reversal 1, OFC-lesioned animals performed significantly better than controls on reversal 2. There were no significant effects of infralimbic and prelimbic lesions on the retention of a spatial discrimination or reversal learning.Conclusions These results indicate that the orbitofrontal cortex is critical for flexible responding in serial spatial reversal learning. The present findings may be relevant to deficits in reversal learning and response inhibition in such neuropsychiatric disorders as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
