The amygdala and reward part of limbic sys, important for a ective processing i. e. process emotinal experiences important for emotions of fear and anxiety also plays important tole in reward. But monkeys w bilateral mtl lesions (w/o a) The visual discrimination task object a and b presented. A always associated w reward, b never associated w reward monkeys learns to always choose a thro reward feedback and extinction (for b) procedural learning, not delarative so monkeys w bilateral removal of mtls can stll do these tasks. Then we need to de ne exactly what we mean when we say a is necessary for reward learning. Hedonic (pleasure) processing eg. object a - monkey nds chocolate. Object c - monley nds banana one can establish the preference of a normal monkey by seeing which object the monkey chooses more than others. Then perform bilateral a lesions; these monkeys will choose all three objects equally.
