Monkeys with bilateral ibotenic-acid lesions of the nucleus basalis of Meynert, an area rich in cholinergic neurons that innervate the cerebral cortex, were compared with unoperated control monkeys on a recognition memory task. Although animals with large lesions had substantial reductions of cortic

Pretraining IP injection of naloxone (0.3 mg/kg) or amphetamine (2 mg/kg) enhanced performance during acquisition, but did not improve retention of active avoidance responses in rats. Naloxone (0.1 or 3 mg/kg) had no effect on acquisition or on retention. The combination of naloxone (0.3 mg/kg) plus
Unilateral blockade of the dorsal hippocampus by tetrodotoxin makes it possible to form lateralized spatial memories, which rapidly transfer to the naive hippocampus when training continues with intact brain. Unilateral X-ray irradiation of newborn rats causes irreversible destruction of granule cel
## Abstract The role of the hippocampus in memory is commonly investigated by comparing fear conditioning paradigms that differ in their reliance on the hippocampus. For example, the dorsal (septal) portion of the hippocampus is involved in trace, but not delay fear conditioning, two Pavlovian para
