Abstract

Unit activity and changes during bar press feeding behavior after presentation of food or non-food were analyzed in 198 neurons in the head of the caudate nucleus of monkey. Eight neurons responded uniquely at the sight of food. The degree of the food-specific responses differed depending on the nature of the food and the hunger-satiation state. On the other hand, 17 neurons responded more or less to the sight of food and during bar pressing for food. These two types of neuron seem to be important to bar pressing feeding behavior, which consists of recognition of food and a bar press task to obtain food.

摘要

在猴子尾状核头部的198个神经元中，分析了在呈现食物或非食物后压杆取食行为期间的单位活动及其变化。8个神经元在看到食物时会有独特反应。食物特异性反应的程度因食物的性质和饥饿饱足状态而异。另一方面，17个神经元在看到食物以及压杆取食过程中或多或少会有反应。这两种类型的神经元似乎对压杆取食行为很重要，该行为包括对食物的识别和获取食物的压杆任务。
