Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Experimental studies have demonstrated distinct functional roles of basolateral amygdala (ABL) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in value evaluation and adaptive behavior. ABL is involved in generating a cue-outcome association, while OFC makes a contribution of generating a cue-triggered expectation to guide adaptive behavior. However, it remains unclear how ABL and OFC form their functional roles. To address this issue, we focus on an odor discrimination task of rats. In this study, we develop a computational model that consists of OFC and ABL, and explore the neural mechanisms underlying the functions of ABL and OFC.
