Although the Morris Water Maze (MWM) was introduced only a few years ago, this technique
has gained wide popularity, as the large number of publications in which it is employed …

The present experiments were designed to examine the hypothesis that the mammalian
brain contains anatomically distinct memory systems. Rats with bilateral lesions of caudate …

It is proposed that the hippocampal formation makes a unique contribution to memory by
providing the neural basis for the initial acquisition and storage of configural associations …

The effects of massive destruction of granule cells of the fascia dentata on the spatial and
temporal firing characteristics of pyramidal cells in the CA1 and CA3 subfields of the …

Place learning and memory were assessed in rats with selective damage to the
fornix/fimbria or to subcortical structures which have a major connection with the …

A negative patterning discrimination problem was arranged by reinforcing rats for bar
pressing when either a light or tone was presented (L+/T+) but not reinforcing the response …

Rats with ibotenic acid lesions of the nucleus accumbens (N. Acc) were studied in two
spatial learning paradigms: a T-maze and a Morris water maze. Learning of a spatial …

We assessed the contribution of the hippocampal formation to performance in tasks that
require rats to respond to a relationship between discriminative stimuli. The first experiment …

Normal rats and rats sustaining septal or medial frontal cortex lesions were compared in
experiments dealing with object exploration, habituation, and reaction to novelty (measured …

The inheritance of spatial learning ability in inbred mice was examined by performance of a
classical genetic cross between the 2 inbred strains C57BL/6Ibg and DBA/2Ibg. The inbreds …
