Journal ArticleDOI

Differential projections of the infralimbic and prelimbic cortex in the rat.

TL;DR: The pattern of IL projections is consistent with a role for IL in the control of visceral/autonomic activity homologous to the orbitomedial prefrontal cortex of primates, whereas those of PL are consistent withA role for PL in limbic‐cognitive functions homologously to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in primates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomical analysis of afferent projections to the medial prefrontal cortex in the rat

TL;DR: Based on patterns of afferent (as well as efferent) projections, PL is positioned to serve a direct role in cognitive functions homologous to dorsolateral PFC of primates, whereas IL appears to represent a visceromotor center homologously to the orbitomedial P FC of primates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A PHA-L analysis of ascending projections of the dorsal raphe nucleus in the rat.

TL;DR: Ascending projections from the dorsal raphe nucleus were examined in the rat by using the anterograde anatomical tracer, Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin (PHA‐L).
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions among the medial prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and midline thalamus in emotional and cognitive processing in the rat

TL;DR: It is suggested that the IL of rats is functionally homologous to the orbitomedial cortex of primates and the prelimbic cortex to the lateral/dorsolateral cortex of chimpanzees, and that theIL/PL complex of rats exerts significant control over emotional and cognitive aspects of goal-directed behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brainstem-diencephalo-septohippocampal systems controlling the theta rhythm of the hippocampus.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the theta rhythm is controlled by a network of cells extending from the brainstem to the septum/hippocampus and that its disruption (electroencephalographic desynchronization) may block or temporarily suspend mnemonic processes of the hippocampus.
