In the current world, it is essential to make valid decisions on adapting exploratory behavioral strategies to flexibly reallocate the resources. Previous studies involving exploration/exploitation dilemma have suggested that the anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC) plays a decisive role for the neuronal realization of exploratory resource allocation in human and non-human primates (Daw et al., 2006). In the present study, we investigated the performance of Mongolian gerbils in a probabilistic foraging paradigm (adapted from Lottem et al., 2018, Nat Comm.) while simultaneously recording local filed potentials (LFPs) in Frontal field A (FrA) using 32 channel chronic electrodes (NeuroNexus probes). On analysing the current source density (CSD) profiles of the recorded LFPs, we were able to show that activity in the frontal cortex depends on both the received reward as well as the expected probability of the reward. Importantly, an increase in pre-decisional neural activity in the FrA, specifically observed just before the animals decide to explore, underscores its role in exploratory behaviour. Additionally, layer-specific analysis in the FrA showed enhanced engagement of supra-granular layers during the transition from exploitation to exploration when the reward decreases due to the exponential decrease in reward delivery, hinting at a layer-dependent mechanism within FrA that enables adapting adequate foraging strategies. Using this laminar signal resolution, the goal is to obtain insights into different neuronal circuit elements in frontal cortex that contribute to the optimal selection of exploitative versus explorative search strategies, thereby gaining a better understanding of the neural regulation of exploratory decision-making processes.
