Effects of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) inactivation on olfactory sensitivity in rats. (A) Placements (black stars) of the infusion needle tips for rats in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) inactivation and olfactory sensitivity experiment (n = 6). The distance each plate is anterior to bregma is indicated in millimeters. (B) Mean (+ standard error of the mean) preference for the scented bowl compared to the unscented bowl. Musc/baclo refers to the muscimol/baclofen treatment to temporarily inactivate the mPFC. (C) Mean latency for the rats to explore the first bowl according to treatment.
