Abstract

Bilateral stimulation of the tegmentum before or during a response impaired performance in reversal learning. Stimulation after a response had no effect. Bilateral stimulation of caudate nucleus after a response retarded reversal learning. Unilateral stimulation of caudate and tegmentum during a response produced position effects opposite to those produced when unilateral stimulation was given before a response.
