“…Furthermore, the ACC is projected on by noradrenaline (NA) fibers from the locus coeruleus; however, the density of NA axon terminals is low relative to that of other neocortical areas (Morrison, Molliver, Grzanna, & Coyle, 1979). Prefrontal 6-OHDA infusions destroy DA and NA terminals (Jonsson & Sachs, 1975); the latter are destroyed even with NA reuptake inhibition (e.g., Hauber, Bubser, & Schmidt, 1994; Ravard, Herve, Thiebot, Soubrie, & Tassin, 1989), as was used in the present study. Thus, our findings imply that changes in choice behavior are brought about by an impaired catecholamine transmission in the ACC.…”
