▪ Abstract The organization and possible functions of basal forebrain and pontine cholinergic
systems are reviewed. Whereas the basal forebrain cholinergic neuronal projections likely …

Abstract The Roman high (RHA/Verh)-and low (RLA/Verh)-avoidance rats, originally
selected and bred for rapid vs. poor acquisition of a two-way active avoidance response …

Four experiments examined effects of quinolinic acid-induced lesions of the anterior
cingulate, posterior cingulate, and medial frontal cortices on tests of visual discrimination …

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is usually considered to be a brain area important for
working memory processes. In rats this statement is evidenced by their diminished …

Chronic multi-channel single unit recordings of neuronal responses in prefrontal cortex
(PFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) were made in 9 male Sprague Dawley rats to …

The present study tested the effects of electrolytic lesions in two mPFC subregions, the
dorsal anterior cingulate area (dACA) and prelimbic cortex, as well as the effects of a larger …

The prelimbic area of the rat medial prefrontal cortex is anatomically connected to the CA1
layer of the temporal hippocampus. As cells recorded from this region of the hippocampus …

Previous studies have demonstrated that gonadal steroid hormones affect the
neuroendocrine response to a novel environment and other stressors. Introduction to a …

Rats prepared with lesions of the prefrontal cortex, posterior parietal cortex, hippocampus, or
medial septal area were tested for acquisition of a number of variations of the open-field …

Rats were trained in a previously validated task for the assessment of sustained attention, or
vigilance. This task required the animals to discriminate between signals of variable lengths …
