(A) Mean (±SEM) Choice Latency following infusions of Saline or M/B into the mPFC. Rats’ Choice Latency was unaffected by mPFC inactivation. (B) Mean (±SEM) mEP following infusions of Saline or M/B into the mPFC. There was no shift in the mean error position caused by mPFC inactivations. (C) Mean (±SEM) %AppE following infusions of Saline or M/B into the mPFC. Inactivation of the mPFC did not cause a statistically significant change in the percentage of total odor approaches accounted for by the error odor. (D) Mean (±SEM) App/O following infusions of Saline or M/B into the mPFC. Inactivation of the mPFC caused rats to make significantly fewer approaches per presented odor.
