This study investigates how medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) hypoactivation and disinhibition affect reversal learning in rats, finding distinct impairments in early and serial reversals.

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of VTA to NAcbS projections impairs reversal learning and increases exploitation bias in rats during probabilistic reversal learning.

The paper shows that perirhinal cortex input to neocortical layer 1 is critical for early memory formation through dendritic calcium elevation and burst firing in layer 5 pyramidal neurons.
