Abstract

Extracellular single neuron activity was recorded in the dorsolateral cortex (DL) during bar pressing for food reward. Most of the reward-related neurons were located around the rostral end of the principal sulcus. Neuronal activity was diminished, abolished, or reversed when quinine adulterated food (aversive food) was given as a reinforcement. Cue-related neurons tended to be located more caudally in the DL. The activity of these neurons was not modulated by the nature of the reward as much as that of the reward-related neurons. The results suggest that DL neurons are not functionally homogenous.
