Question

Kobayashi and colleagues demonstrated that the presentation of juice in the mouth following a spike in neural activity could be used as a reinforcer for activity in the _____ of Japanese monkeys.

Answer 1

Answer: Lateral prefrontal cortex

Explanation: Lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) is a region of frontal cortex in the brain, where varying goal-directed behavior is expressed.

Therefore, the region have strong connections with motor nerve cells and are activated by procedures or tasks that requires high-level cognition.

However, presentation of juice in the mouth following a spike in neural activity reinforces the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) to encodes information about the response in the Japanese monkeys.
