The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been reported to play a key role in higher-order cognitive functions by dynamically adjusting its firing activity. Here, we studied the specific contributions of two cell subclasses, putative excitatory pyramidal (68%) and putative inhibitory interneurons (24%), within a sample of 147 single units recorded from the dorsolateral PFC of two macaque monkeys while they performed a Transitive Inference (TI) task. The TI task required learning the relationship between the adjacent items of an arbitrarily rank-ordered sequence in every session, i.e., A>B>C>D&g
