The authors used a reversible inactivation technique that has not been used before in Old World monkeys, inhibitory chemogenetic receptors (DREADDs), to demonstrate that disconnecting a large region of monkey prefrontal cortex (orbitofrontal cortex) from a region in the temporal lobe (rhinal cortex) reduces sensitivity to differences in reward size.
