This chapter highlights recent efforts in studying the functional significance of a rodent’s medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) with regard to cognitive and motivational control. It describes the anatomical connectivity between the medial prefrontal cortex and the hypothalamus, including recent studies on mPFC during performance of simple reaction-time tasks.
Keywords: medial prefrontal cortex, mPFC, cognitive control, motivation control, hypothalamus, reaction-time tasks
