It is not sufficiently clear from the proposal how an analysis from inputs that alter the "spontaneous" activity of these neurons in anaesthetized subjects addresses either the proposed functions of the medial prefrontal cortex in awake animals or the mechanisms underlying the exercise of these functions. 1, record 3, English, - medial%20prefrontal%20cortex
