| Research Abstract |
To achieve goals in complex environment, one has to use a behavioral rule matching the goal and the current environmental situation. To clarify mechanisms of such goal-directed behavior, we have trained macaque monkeys with an analog of Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and conducted lesion-behavioral and single-cell recording experiments. We obtained results suggesting that the dorsolateral, orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate sulcus regions of the prefrontal cortex play different elementary functional roles in the performance of the rule-based goal-directed behavior.
