Mice with mutations in four nonreceptor tyrosine kinase genes, fyn, src, yes, and abl, were
used to study the role of these kinases in long-term potentiation (LTP) and in the relation of …

The present study examined the effect of lesions of the caudate nucleus or fimbria–fornix on
the acquisition of two water maze tasks. In both tasks, two rubber balls with different visual …

Rats were submitted to object and spatial recognition tests (both based on the same
paradigm) and to the radial-arm maze. The results are as follows:(1) rats could discriminate …

In a combined behavioral and morphometric study, we observed a testosterone-related
sexual dimorphism in the granule cell layer of the hippocampus of Sprague-Dawley rats that …

Many sex differences are likely to be adaptive consequences of sexual selection. Sex
differences in spatial ability are well described for Homo sapiens and laboratory rodents …

Previous studies have identified a population of neurons in the postsubiculum that discharge
as a function of the rat's head direction in the horizontal plane (Taube, Muller, & Ranck …

The present experiments were designed to assess whether brain hypothermia can reduce
the behavioral and histopathological deficits associated with global forebrain ischemia …

Spatial learning in rodents requires normal functioning of hippocampal and cortical
structures. Recent data suggest that the cerebellum may also be esential. Neurological …

Short forms of the reference-and working-memory versions of the Morris water maze, each
limited to 10 trials, were examined for their reliability and sensitivity to age related deficits in …

Mice were exposed to phenobarbital (PhB) prenatally and neonatally. Prenatal exposure
was accomplished by feeding the mother PhB (3 g/kg milled food) on gestation days 9–18 …
