Rats with bilateral lesions of the superior colliculus (SC) or with sham operations were trained on a modified version of the running task of Goodale and Murison (1975). The rats were required to shuttle between two large boxes, one of which required a choice between 5 doors, the other having only 1

Tectal ablation in neonatal rats leads to retrograde degeneration of retinal ganglion cells whereas similar damage in adults does not. We show here that the behavioral effects are comparably different. When rats with neonatal tectal ablation are tested as adults they are impaired in learning a discr
## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aging on glial cells and neurons from the superficial layers of the superior colliculus in rats. We used stereological methods to estimate the volume of the superficial layers, neuron size, and the number of neurons and glial cells
## Abstract Rats with lesions of the fornix, the hippocampus, or normal control animals were trained on a visualβspatial conditional associative learning task in which they had to learn to go to a particular location based on the presence of a specific visual cue; the rats approached the cues from
