Impaired acquisition of a visual pairwise discrimination task involving top-down processing in M1 KO mice. (A) Stimuli chosen for pairwise discrimination: stimulus 1, “lasers”, and stimulus 2, “4 circles”. (B) Wild-type (WT) and M1 KO mice demonstrate an inherent preference for stimulus 2 when responding on either stimulus was reinforced. (C) M1 KO mice required a greater number of days to acquire the discrimination when discriminating the less salient stimulus (stimulus 1, S+) from the more salient stimulus (stimulus 2, S−). *, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001.
