The role of medial prefrontal cortex in memory and decision making

DR Euston, AJ Gruber, BL McNaughton - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
Some have claimed that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) mediates decision making.
Others suggest mPFC is selectively involved in the retrieval of remote long-term memory. Yet …
