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 fil
