Radial-maze performance in the rat following lesions of posterior neocortex.
The present experiment was designed t investigate the role of posterior neocortex (areas 17, 18 and 18a) in the maintenance of performance on the radial maze. Following training to criterion on the 8-arm radial maze, rats received either sham operations, bilateral eye enucleations, lesions of posterior neocortex, or combined enucleations and lesions of posterior neocortex. While the enucleated ...
متن کاملSelective dysgranular retrosplenial cortex lesions in rats disrupt allocentric performance of the radial-arm maze task.
The present study provides the 1st report on the effects of selective lesions of the dysgranular portion of the retrosplenial cortex in rats. Excitotoxic lesions of the dysgranular area were sufficient to impair behavior in the radial-arm maze by biasing the strategy used to solve the task. In particular, rats with dysgranular retrosplenial lesions were less reliant on distal visual cues to con...
متن کاملWithin-Trial Dynamics of Radial Arm Maze Performance in Rats
The behavior of rats white solving a 12-arm radial maze was investigated using measures of response bias, choice latencies, and behavioral organization. Response bias decreased as a function of choice number, while the amount of time spent on the center platform between choices increased substantially during the last few choices. This increase in time between choices was largely accounted for b...
متن کاملSubcortical Lesions and Maze Retention in the Rat.
With intracranial electric shock in the posterior hypothalamus as the source of positive reinforcement, eleven rats were trained to run and " count " in an operant version of the Lashley III maze. In seven animals, bilateral lesions were made in anterior medial forebrain bundle regions; in four animals bilateral lesions were made in anterior thalamic and caudate regions. In earlier experiments ...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
