Medial Prefrontal Cortex (mPFC) is the medial part the prefrontal cortex which is the anterior part of frontal lobe. mPFC is divided into cingulate cortex (Cg), prelimbic cortex (PL), and infralimbic cortex (IL) subdivisions. mPFC has an important role for decision making, [1] emotional regulation.

Projection Specific Role

Prefrontal projection neurons innervate subcortical structures that contribute to reward-seeking behaviors, such as the ventral striatum and midline thalamus and anxiety or fear related behavior, such as amygdala. I will summarize the mPFC projection specific function.

dmPFC→NAc

In Pavlovian conditioning, after learning, but not before learning, dmPFC→NAc(dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex→Nucleus Accumbens) neurons primarily displayed excitation to the CS+(conditioned stimulus which predicts a reward), whereas fewer neurons responded to the CS. mPFC→NAc neurons are necessary for expression conditioned reward seeking.[2]

dmPFC→PVT

In Pavlovian conditioning, after learning, but not before learning, dmPFC→PVT(dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex→Paraventricular Thalamus) neurons primarily displayed inhibition to the CS+(conditioned stimulus which predicts a reward), whereas fewer neurons responded to the CS. mPFC→PVT neurons are nessesory for acquisition of conditioned reward seeking.[2]

mPFC→NAc

Significantly more projections from behaviorally activated mPFC neurons were observed targeting the NAc in cocaine-exposed animals compared to shock-exposed animals.[3]

mPFC→NAc (medial Prefrontal Cortex→Nucleus Accumbens)  but not mPFC→VTA cells are suppressed prior to reward seeking with punishment. mPFC→NAc shock responsive neurons encode restraint of reward seeking. Optogenetic stimulation of mPFC→NAc projections does not suppress reward seeking. mPFC→NAc population dynamics predict individual reward-seeking or suppression decisions. Optogenetic recruitment of shock-labeled mPFC→NAc projections reduces reward seeking.[4]

mPFC→LHb

Significantly more projections from behaviorally activated mPFC neurons were observed targeting the LHb in shock-exposed animals compared to cocaine-exposed animals.[3]

PL→NAc

Continuous activation of PL-NAc(Prelimbic cortex→Nucleus Accumbens) , but not PL-Amyg or PL-VTA, decreases social preference. PL-NAc neurons encode a conjunction of social and spatial information.[5]

AC→CA

AC→CA(Anterior Cingulate→Hippocampus) neurons are necessary for fear memory retrieval, which is demonstrated by optogenetic experiment.[6]

vmPFC→Amy

Activating vmPFC→Amy(ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex→Amygdala) neurons decreases anxiety and enhance the effect of fear extinction learning. [7]

vmPFC→BMA

Activating vmPFC→BMA(Basomedial Amygdala) neurons decrease anxiety and fear.[7]

dmPFC→Amy

Activating dmPFC→Amy(dorsmedial Prefrontal Cortex→Amygdala) neurons inhibit the effect of fear extinction learning.[7]

D1+ mPFC→mBLA

Optogenetic activation of D1+ mPFC→mBLA (Dopamine receptor 1 positive neuron in medial prefrontal cortex→medial basolateral nuclei of amygdala) neuron increase food intake.

Neuronal Subtype Specific Role

SOM+ interneurons in dmPFC

Optogenetic activation of somatostatin positive neuron in dmPFC impairs the performance of a delayed Go vs. No-Go auditory task and inhibition of these neuron improves task performance.

PV+ interneurons in dmPFC

Optogenetic activation of parvalbumin positive neuron in dmPFC impairs task performance of a delayed Go vs. No-Go auditory task and inhibition of these neuron improves task performance.

Firing of distinct dmPFC interneurons(a part of PV+ interneurons) oppositely correlates with fear expression. PV+ interneuron in dmPFC is necessary and sufficient to decrease fear. PV+ interneurons in dmPFC mediate disinhibitory effect of conditioned stimuli which predict shock on principal neuron. Principal neurons disinhibited during CS+ presentations preferentially targeted the BLA.

VIP+ interneurons in dmPFC

VIP interneurons in dmPFC are necessary and sufficient to improve task performance of delayed Go vs. No-Go auditory task, which is demonstrated by optogenetic experiment.

D1+ neurons in mPFC

D1+ neurons in mPFC are necessary and sufficient to induce food intake, which is demonstrated by optogenetic experiment. D1+ neurons in mPFC project to and activate mBLA(medial basolateral nuclei of amygdala).
