Fig. 3. Chemogenetic silencing of the unilateral dlPFC-dCD pathway altered the choice preference in a delayed response task.

Fig. 3

(A) Illustrations representing trial types (ipsilateral and contralateral) of the delayed response task. (B and C) Chemogenetic silencing of the dlPFC-dCD (B) and dlPFC-MDl (C) pathways by local DCZ infusion into unilateral dCD (3 μl per site) and MDl (2 μl per site), respectively. (D) Behavioral effects of chemogenetic silencing of the unilateral dlPFC-dCD pathway for ipsilateral (left) and contralateral (right) trials [two-way ANOVA with treatment × delay; treatment; ipsilateral: Mk#1, F(1,54) = 0.34, P = 0.56; Mk#2, F(1,54) = 4.4, P = 0.04; contralateral: Mk#1, F(1,54) = 35.8, P < 0.001; Mk#2, F(1,54) = 7.4, P = 0.009; delay; ipsilateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 11.8, P < 0.001; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 12.6, P < 0.001; contralateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 48.9, P < 0.001; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 45.7, P < 0.001; interaction; ipsilateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 1.1, P = 0.34; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 1.8, P = 0.18; contralateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 24.1, P < 0.001; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 5.9, P = 0.005]. (E) Same as (D) but for silencing of the unilateral dlPFC-MDl pathway [treatment; ipsilateral: Mk#1, F(1,54) = 3.0, P = 0.09; Mk#2, F(1,54) = 1.0, P = 0.31; contralateral: Mk#1, F(1,54) = 3.3, P = 0.07; Mk#2, F(1,54) = 0.04, P = 0.84; delay; ipsilateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 18.5, P < 0.001; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 20.0, P < 0.001; contralateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 12.8, P < 0.001; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 17.5, P < 0.001; interaction; ipsilateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 1.9, P = 0.16; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 0.35, P = 0.71; contralateral: Mk#1, F(2,54) = 0.98, P = 0.38; Mk#2, F(2,54) = 0.04, P = 0.96]. Correct performance rate (means ± SEM, total of 10 sessions, five left and five right infusions for each target) following DCZ (ipsilateral, magenta; contralateral, purple) and vehicle infusions (cyan) are shown for two monkeys. Arrangements are the same as in Fig. 2.
