The effects of AIC or OFC inactivation on three behavioral parameters: correct rate in 40 forced choices, reaction time in 100 free choices, and number of reaction omissions in the whole session. There were no significant differences between inactivations and saline in both gambling tasks, suggesting that inactivations affected performance in risk taking and not other domains. Values are mean ± SEM. Mus + Bac, muscimol + baclofen; ns, not significant.
