Abstract

The involvement of different subregions of the striatum in place and response learning was examined using a T-maze. Rats were given NMDA lesions of the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), anterior dorsomedial striatum (ADMS), posterior dorsomedial striatum (PDMS), or sham surgery. They were then trained to retrieve food from the west arm of the maze, starting from the south arm, by turning left at the choice point. After 7 d of training, with four trials a day, a probe test was given in which the starting arm is inserted as the north arm, at the opposite side of the maze. A left turn would indicate a “response” strategy; a right turn, a “place” strategy. The rats were then trained for 7 more days, followed by a second probe test. Unlike rats in the other groups, most of the rats in the PDMS group turned left, using the response strategy on both probe tests. These results suggest that the PDMS plays a role in spatially guided behavior.

  • The nucleus accumbens is strongly linked to behavioural flexibility and inhibitory control, including goal-directed and habitual behaviour.

    “The nucleus accumbens is strongly linked to both behavioural flexibility and inhibitory control, including goal-directed and habitual behaviour [66–68].”

    From Linking haploinsufficiency of the autism- and schizophrenia-associated gene Cyfip1 with striatal-limbic-cortical network dysfunction and cognitive inflexibility (2024) · cites this paper as [66]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) links the posterior dorsomedial striatum to flexible, goal-directed responding, and the Abstract contrasts flexible place learning with stimulus-response habits. Our copy does not link these functions to the nucleus accumbens or address inhibitory control; searches for “nucleus accumbens” and “accumbens” found no relevant passage. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
