Abstract
Of 21 rats with lesions in the hippocampus and thalamus, 19 showed no decrements in their septal self-stimulation rates following the lesions, and 9 of these showed a significant increase over their preoperative rates. Histology failed to reveal an orderly picture relating the loci of the lesions to the behavioral changes observed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
