Four groups of rats with bilateral lesions of somatosensory cortex and one of animals sustaining only sham operations were tested for retention of a difficult tactile discrimination. Two of the lesion groups had serial ablations, in one case with interoperative testing, and two had one-stage lesions
Five groups of rats with bilateral lesions of the somatosensory cortex and one of animals sustained only sham operations were tested for retention of a rough-smooth discrimination. Two of the lesion groups had sequential unilateral ablations, in one case with interoperative testing, and three groups
Rats with either bilateral ablations of superior colliculus, bilateral ablations of visual cortex, or sham operations were trained to run across a large arena towards a small illuminated target which varied in location from trial to trial. An impairment in this visually-guided running was apparent i
