Interpeduncular nucleus and avoidance conditioning in the rat.

Rats trained to make a jumping response to the onset of a visual stimulus lost the habit after damage to the interpeduncular nucleus of the midbrain. It was noted, however, that the majority of the operated animals showed perfect retention of the "fear" response to the conditioned stimulus.

Learning in rats with extensive neocortical damage.

Albino rats with as much as 99 percent damage to the cerebral cortex were trained on a position habit in a simple T-maze. The operated rats were found to learn the problem as efficiently as normal animals even when a 30-second delay was imposed between the response and the food.
