Transient inactivation of the medial prefrontal cortex affects both anxiety and decision-making in male Wistar rats
In both humans and rats high levels of anxiety impair decision-making in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) in male subjects. Expression of the immediate early gene c-fos as marker of neural activity in rat studies indicated a role of the medial prefrontal cortex (prelimbic and infralimbic region; mPFC) i...
