Abstract

Card Sorting Monkeys: Single-neuron studies in primates help to establish a detailed understanding of cognitive processing and to provide an experimental base for understanding the cognitive deficits incurred by patients who have suffered damage to areas of the brain. Buckley et al. (p. 52 ) present the results of an intensive behavioral analysis of a group of monkeys bearing lesions to distinct areas of the prefrontal lobe. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Task is widely used in the clinic to assess the flexible learning of abstract rules. In the primates, a functional dissociation was observed across three regions: the principal sulcus, the orbitofrontal cortex, and the anterior cingulate cortex. This set of results contributes to the ongoing discussion of goal-directed behavior and serves to bridge neuropsychological studies in human patients and neurophysiological studies in primates.

  • The anterior cingulate cortex plays a role in representing error likelihoods and adjusting behavioural patterns following an error.

    “Related evidence from monkeys performing a Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) again points to a role for the anterior cingulate cortex in representing error likelihoods and adjusting behavioural patterns following an error (Buckley et al., 2009; Kuwabara et al., 2014).”

  • Preoperatively monkeys scored 77% correct on the EC+1 trial type; postoperatively monkeys with PFo lesions scored only 50% correct.

    “Whereas preoperatively their monkeys scored 77% correct on the EC+1 trial type, postoperatively the monkeys with PFo lesions scored only 50% correct.”
  • Buckley et al. applied trial-by-trial analysis to monkeys with PFo lesions trained on an analog of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task.

    “Buckley et al. (95) applied the same trial-by-trial analysis to data from monkeys with PFo lesions that had been trained on an analog of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task.”
  • The PFo lesion group was inefficient in using positive feedback after rule changes, suggesting PFo plays an important role in valuation of rule representations as well as object representations.

    “Like the monkeys studied by Rudebeck and Murray (91), the PFo lesion group studied by Buckley et al. was inefficient in using positive feedback after rule changes, suggesting that PFo plays an important role in the valuation of rule representations as well as object representations.”

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.
