(A) Mean (±SEM) Choice Latency following disconnection of the mPFC and mdThal. Choice Latency was significantly higher in the Disconnection condition than in the Saline condition. (B) Mean (±SEM) mEP following disconnection of the mPFC and mdThal. There was no shift in the mean error position caused by disconnection of the two structures. (C) Mean (±SEM) %AppE following disconnection of the mPFC and mdThal. Disconnection of the two structures 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 disconnection of the mPFC and mdThal. Disconnection of the two structures caused no significant change in the number of approaches rats made per odor.
