Medial prefrontal lesions in the rat and spatial navigation: evidence for impaired planning.

S Granon, B Poucet - Behavioral neuroscience, 1995 - psycnet.apa.org
Rats with medial prefrontal cortical lesions were tested in a modified water maze navigation
task. In Stage 1, the rats were trained to locate a hidden platform from a single start location …

Medial prefrontal cortex lesions cause deficits in a variable-goal location task but not in object exploration.

C Gemmell, SM O'Mara - Behavioral Neuroscience, 1999 - psycnet.apa.org
The role of the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) in goal-directed behavior was examined in
rats with aspiration lesions. In Experiment 1, PFC lesions resulted in an impaired ability to …

A further characterization of the spatial problem-solving deficit induced by lesions of the medial frontal cortex in the rat

B Poucet - Behavioural Brain Research, 1990 - Elsevier
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the basis of the spatial impairment

A behavioural analysis of rats with damage to the medial prefrontal cortex using the Morris water maze: evidence for behavioural flexibility, but not for impaired spatial …

JPC de Bruin, F Sanchez-Santed, RPW Heinsbroek… - Brain research, 1994 - Elsevier
In this study, the functional properties of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of the rat were
examined in a task for spatial navigation. The dorsomedial (dmPFC) and ventromedial …

Dissociation of the medial prefrontal, posterior parietal, and posterior temporal cortex for spatial navigation and recognition memory in the rat

Dissociation of the contributions of the prefrontal cortex and dorsomedial thalamic nucleus to spatially guided behavior in the rat

B Kolb, K Pittman, RJ Sutherland, IQ Whishaw - Behavioural brain research, 1982 - Elsevier
Rats with lesions of the medial frontal cortex or dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus (MD)
were studied in two spatial localization tasks: the Morris water task and the 8-arm radial arm …

HJ Spiers - Neuropsychologia, 2008 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
On his voyage home, Odysseus is nearly seduced to his death by the singing of the sirens.
Odysseus's crew, their ears plugged with wax, thankfully do not hear his desperate pleas to …

BV DiMattia, RP Kesner - Behavioral neuroscience, 1988 - psycnet.apa.org
Separate groups of rats with lesions in the parietal cortex (PC) or hippocampal formation
(HF) were tested for acquisition and retention of the Morris water maze cognitive mapping …

Memory of monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with lesions in prefrontal cortex.

RE Passingham - Behavioral neuroscience, 1985 - psycnet.apa.org
Three studies with 9 rhesus monkeys examined whether removal of the tissue of sulcus

Septum and medial frontal cortex contribution to spatial problem-solving

B Poucet, T Herrmann - Behavioural brain research, 1990 - Elsevier
An attempt was made to contrast the effects of lesions to the medial frontal cortex and
septum in two spatial tasks. In the fixed-goal (FG) task, the food was located on the same …
