غیرفعال کردن برگشت پذیر هیپوتالاموس جانبی در انتخابات پاداش بالا در تصمیم گیری هزینه-سود در موش صحرایی

In an effort-based decision task, PeF-LH inactivation led to decrease in high reward choice. Similarly, in a delay-based decision task animals’ preference changed to a low but immediately available reward. This was not caused by a spatial memory or motor deficit. PeF-LH inactivation modified decision behavior. The results imply that PeF-LH is important for allowing the animal to pay a cost to acquire greater rewards.
