Abstract
This chapter evaluates evidence on the role of the medial prefrontal (PF) cortex in the selection of actions in primates. It discusses the connectional fingerprint of the PF cortex, the main connections of the medial PF cortex in macaque monkeys, and the accumulator-racetrack model of neural competition. It compares the agranular cortex in rodents and primates and the granular and agranular parts of the medial PF cortex in monkeys. This chapter explains the connections of the medial PF cortex with the hippocampus, amygdala and medial premotor areas which influenced its role in the function of the PF cortex.
