Variations in collaborative network patterns during visual discrimination learning and reversal learning (RL) in brains of tree shrews
A: Schematics of visual discrimination tasks and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging. B: Voxel-wise comparisons between RN and LE stage. Significant hyper-metabolism region was found in left NAc in RN stage (P<0.05, FWE-corrected, cluster size>50).T value, value of two-sample t-test. C: Sub-region location of RL network in tree shrew brain. D: Venn diagram showing overlap of metabolic networks involved in LE, RN, and RE stages. E: Schematic of functional systems engaged in dynamic visual discrimination tasks. LN, learning naive; LE, learning expert; RN, reversal naive; RE, reversal expert.
