TL;DR
When faced with new visual cues in reward schedules, intact monkeys adjusted their motivation in the schedules, whereas monkeys with rhinal cortex removals failed to do so, demonstrating the importance of this region for forming associations between visual stimuli and their motivational significance.
Abstract
The limbic system is necessary to associate stimuli with their motivational and emotional significance. The perirhinal cortex is directly connected to this system, and neurons in this region carry signals related to a monkey's progress through visually cued reward schedules. This task manipulates motivation by displaying different visual cues to indicate the amount of work remaining until reward delivery. We asked whether rhinal (that is, entorhinal and perirhinal) cortex is necessary to associate the visual cues with reward schedules. When faced with new visual cues in reward schedules, intact monkeys adjusted their motivation in the schedules, whereas monkeys with rhinal cortex removals failed to do so. Thus, the rhinal cortex is critical for forming associations between visual stimuli and their motivational significance.

The ability of inferotemporal neurons to represent association between picture pairs was lost after the lesion of entorhinal and perirhinal cortex, most likely through disruption of backward neural signals to the inferotmporal neurons, while the ability of the neurons to respond to a particular visual stimulus was left intact.

Three Cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) learned a flavour-visual conditional discrimination problem, in which one of two possible food items was presented at the beginning of each trial, and acted as an instruction cue to signal which of two visually distinct stimulus objects the animal must displace on that trial in order to obtain a further food reward.

Early amygdala lesions appeared to have resulted in a greater object memory loss than early hippocampal lesions, but in light of recent findings from lesion studies in adult monkeys, the object memory impairment after early amygdaloid lesions is better accounted for by damage to the entorhinal and perirhinal cortex.
