Impact of Degeneration of the Prelimbic and Infralimbic Cortices on Psychomotor Activity and Cognitive Func-tion in Rats Stereotaxically Injected with Ibotenate
Abstract:Background:Little is understood about how mild cognitive impairment affects motor function (MCI). Memory and psychomotor functions are assumed to be regulated by the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The mPFC consists of a total of three distinct subareas. Thus, the purpose of this work was to specifically damage the prelimbic (PrL) and infralimbic (IFL) subareas utilizing a rodent stereotaxis injection of a relatively low dose of ibotenate. Aim: to investigate the impact of the PrL and IFL subareas lesions on … Show more
