摘要: Previous research has suggested that the rat prefrontal cortex might play a role in spatial information processing and divided attention. More recent work showed effect of lesions is more important when task involves response selection complex situations. The first aim present study was to test prelimbic area exploration, situation involving non-spatial information, but requiring no selection. second manipulate degree cognitive effort required by task. latter tested manipulating number items explore. Rats explored either simple (3 objects) or (6 situation. We reasoned acquiring so as react adequately non changes involved effortful than simpler one. results suggest medial not crucially requires
