What, if anything, is rodent prefrontal cortex?
Prefrontal cortex (PFC) means different things to different people. In recent years, there has
been a major increase in publications on the PFC, especially using mice. However, …

Medial frontal theta is entrained to rewarded actions
LM Amarante, MS Caetano… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Rodents lick to consume fluids. The reward value of ingested fluids is likely to be encoded
by neuronal activity entrained to the lick cycle. Here, we investigated relationships between …
