This study investigated the respective roles of the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the
dorsal striatum in learning and memory. A standard set of experimental conditions for …

Examined the effect of lesions of the caudate nucleus or fimbria-fornix on the acquisition of 2
water maze tasks. In both tasks, 2 rubber balls with different visual patterns were used as …

The basolateral amygdala channels sensory inputs to other parts of the brain. This becomes
obvious in 'conditioning'experiments, when neutral stimuli, such as lights or tones, are …

In this article we describe the ideas and circumstances that led to the experiment
demonstrating a triple dissociation of memory systems. We then move on to discuss the …

Neurobehavioral evidence supports the existence of at least two anatomically distinct
“memory systems” in the mammalian brain that mediate dissociable types of learning and …

Lesions of the intralaminar thalamic nuclei (ILn), the medial wall (MW) area of prefrontal
cortex, and the hippocampus were compared and found to have distinct effects on delayed …

The effect of posttraining intracerebral injections of the indirect dopamine (DA) agonist d-
amphetamine, the direct D2 agonist LY 171555, and the direct D1 agonist SKF-38393 on the …

This experiment investigated the ability of rats withdorsal striatal or fornix damage to learn
the location of a visible platform in a water maze. We also assessed the animals' ability to …

A series of five experiments examined the differential mnemonic roles of the hippocampus
and caudate-putamen and the modulatory influence of the amygdala on hippocampal and …

Rats were trained and tested in habituation to a novel environment and step-down inhibitory
avoidance. Immediately after training in each task the animals received intra-amygdala …
