Monkeys perform the PST efficiently prior to MPTP treatment, demonstrating understanding of the task and cognitive control. A. Problem-solving task PST4, with task epochs titled from left to right. Monkeys sought, by trial and error using feedback, which of the four grey targets was rewarded, and then repeated this correct choice three times to complete a problem. Delay and feedback epochs for neurophysiological data are highlighted B. Proportion of non-optimal choices (repeated incorrect choices in SEA, errors in REP). Monkeys are performing the task well, and the majority of non-optimal choices were on high-control trials. C. Proportion of optimal problem transitions. Monkeys were near optimal, showing clear use of the STC. D. Reaction times on low and high control trials. Mk: Monkey (Monkey R and Monkey S). L: Low control trials; H: High control trials.
