C-fos activation patterns in rat prefrontal cortex during acquisition of a cued classical conditioning task.

Abstract:

:The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is known to be involved in associative learning; however, its specific role in acquisition of cued classical conditioning has not yet been determined. Furthermore, the role of regional differences within the PFC in the acquisition of cued conditioning is not well described. These issues were addressed by exposing rats to either one or four sessions of a cued classical conditioning task, and subsequently examining c-fos immunoreactivity in various areas of the PFC. Differences in patterns of c-fos immunopositive nuclei were found when comparing the PFC areas examined. No significant differences were found between rats presented with a temporally contingent conditioned stimulus (CS) light and food (paired groups) and those presented with the same stimuli temporally non-contingently (unpaired groups). In lateral and orbital PFC, both the paired and unpaired groups showed more c-fos immunopositive nuclei than control groups exposed only to the behavioral setup (context exposed groups), and all groups showed a drop in c-fos immunopositive nuclei from session 1 to session 4. In dorsal medial PFC, no differences were seen between the paired, unpaired and context exposed groups. These groups did, however, differ from naive animals, an effect that was not seen in the ventral medial PFC. The results of this study do not support a role for the PFC in the acquisition of a cued classical conditioning task. The differences seen between paired, unpaired and context exposed groups in orbital and lateral PFC could be due to contextual conditioning or reward-related effects.
