Abstract

Long term, single neuron activity was recorded in the monkey orbitofrontal cortex (OBF) through chronic platinum-iridium microwire electrodes. Tonic as well as phasic changes in neuronal activity occurred upon presentation of palatable (food) and aversive stimuli during bar pressing for food. Lesions in this region are known to induce changes in emotional behavior. Therefore, the results suggest that the OBF neurons are involved in processing emotion.

摘要

长期以来，通过慢性铂铱微丝电极在猴子眶额叶皮质（OBF）中记录单个神经元的活动。在按压杠杆获取食物的过程中，当呈现美味（食物）和厌恶刺激时，神经元活动会出现持续性以及阶段性变化。已知该区域的损伤会诱发情绪行为的改变。因此，研究结果表明眶额叶皮质神经元参与情绪处理。
