## Abstract Retrograde and anterograde objectβrecognition memory was assessed in rats with cytotoxic lesions of the hippocampal formation (HPC), using a paradigm based on the natural tendency of rats to spend more time exploring novel objects than familiar objects. The rats were allowed to explore

The present experiment examined the role of the hippocampal formation (HPC) in long-term memory of an association between an object and a fear-eliciting event. Rats either received sham or neurotoxic lesions of the HPC 1 or 14 days after learning that contacting a wire-wrapped probe (i.e., object) e
## Abstract Performance in several memory tasks is known to be unaffected by hippocampal damage sustained before learning, but is severely disrupted if the same damage occurs after learning. Memories for preferred locations, or home bases, in exploratory tasks can be formed by rats with hippocampal
Effects of a single injection of methamphetamine (2 m a g , i.p.) on central dopaminergic systems were investigated among rats with bilateral hippocampal lesions by ibotenic acid (10-11 weeks, n=6), age-matched sham-lesioned rats (10-11 weeks, n=6), and aged sham-lesioned rats (40-42 weeks, n=7), us
