Effects of fornix transection upon associative memory in monkeys: role of the hippocampus in learned action

摘要: Thirty-three monkeys took part in seven experiments designed to elucidate further the effect of fornix transection on learning and memory. In first experiment had remember whether stimulus objects previously been paired with reward or no reward, they use this memory guide choice between at retention tests according an arbitrary rule which learned: choose preference reward. Fornix produced a severe permanent impairment task. second also object-reward associations but performance was more natural: Here effect. The third required remember, given object, two events equal valence outcome displacing that object. were either ...
