This study examined the role of the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex of mice in anticipating reward-value switch points in a two-armed bandit task. They demonstrate the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex ...
The prefrontal cortex is a cortical area located in the ... Maltese et al. show in mice that experiencing an adverse event affects future interaction with others experiencing the same stressor.
In humans, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays an important role in moderation of stress and also in social cognition, so the researchers theorized that the same may be true for mice.
