Lesions of rat perirhinal cortex exacerbate the memory deficit observed following damage to the fimbria-fornix.

KA Wiig, DK Bilkey - Behavioral neuroscience, 1995 - psycnet.apa.org
Rats that had received bilateral lesions of the perirhinal cortex, fimbria-fornix, combined
lesions of both these structures, or sham operations were tested on an object-guided …

Differential ontogeny of working memory and reference memory in the rat.

RJ Green, ME Stanton - Behavioral neuroscience, 1989 - psycnet.apa.org
In two experiments we examined the ability of 15-, 21-, and 27-day-old rats to perform two
spatial working memory problems (delayed alternation and discrete-trials delayed …

Acquisition of a spatial conditioned place preference is impaired by amygdala lesions and improved by fornix lesions

NM White, RJ McDonald - Behavioural brain research, 1993 - Elsevier
This experiment examined the role of the lateral nucleus of the amygdala, the hippocampus
and the dorsal striatum in the acquisition of a conditioned place preference (CPP). The CPP …

Disconnecting hippocampal projections to the anterior thalamus produces deficits on tests of spatial memory in rats

EC Warburton, AL Baird, A Morgan… - European Journal of …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
A disconnection procedure was used to test whether projections from the hippocampus to
the anterior thalamic nuclei (AT), via the fimbria‐fornix (FX), form functional components of a …

Intraseptal administration of muscimol produces dose-dependent memory impairments in the rat

JJ Chrobak, RW Stackman, TJ Walsh - Behavioral and neural biology, 1989 - Elsevier
The present study examined the effects of intraseptal administration of the GABAergic
agonist muscimol on performance of a radial-arm maze (RAM) task. Male Long—Evans rats …

Combined lesions of hippocampus and subiculum do not produce deficits in a nonspatial social olfactory memory task

S Burton, D Murphy, U Qureshi, P Sutton… - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
Rats transmit information to each other about which foods are safe to eat. If a rat smells a
food odor on the breath of another rat, it is subsequently more likely to eat that food than an …

Flexible memory processing by rats: use of prospective and retrospective information in the radial maze.

RG Cook, MF Brown, DA Riley - Journal of Experimental …, 1985 - psycnet.apa.org
Four experiments investigated the content of the memory used by rats in mediating retention
intervals interpolated during performance in a 12-arm radial maze. The delay occurred …

Both anteromedial and anteroventral thalamic lesions impair radial-maze learning in rats.

G Byatt, JC Dalrymple-Alford - Behavioral neuroscience, 1996 - psycnet.apa.org
Disruption to the anterior thalamus (AT) may be an important factor in diencephalic amnesia.
Rats with small lesions of the anteromedial (AM) or anteroventral (AV) nucleus showed …

Evidence for neocortical involvement in reference memory

RP Kesner, BV DiMattia, KA Crutcher - Behavioral and neural biology, 1987 - Elsevier
Rats were trained on an eight-arm radial maze task using a procedure that provides for an
assessment of both working and reference memory. Following training, rats received parietal …

A comparison of the effects of anterior thalamic, mamillary body and fornix lesions on reinforced spatial alternation

JP Aggleton, N Neave, S Nagle, PR Hunt - Behavioural brain research, 1995 - Elsevier
The effects of cytotoxic lesions in either the anterior thalamic nuclei or the mamillary bodies
were compared with those of fornix lesions on a test of spatial working memory. All three …
