Novel objects in a holeboard probe the role of the locus coeruleus in curiosity: support for two modes of attention in the rat.

abstract：:This series of experiments investigated the role of a prefrontal cortical-dorsal striatal circuit in attention, using a continuous performance task of sustained and spatially divided visual attention. A unilateral excitotoxic lesion of the medial prefrontal cortex and a contralateral lesion of the medial caudate-putam...
