Abstract
38 rats were trained to discriminate a sequence of clicks presented at a rate of 5 per see from a sec. having a rate of 1 per see Retention of the discrimination was measured in one group which had suffered lesions in the auditory cortex and in another in which non-auditory cortex had been destroyed. Non-auditory cortex produced slight but significant loss in retention but the rats could still re learn. Loss in retention was no greater after removal of auditory cortex than after non-auditory cortex until the amt. of destruction exceeded 70%. Rats with all the auditory cortex removed still could relearn the habit.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
