Abstract

Cytotoxic ventral hippocampal lesions produced anxiolytic effects on 4 ethologically based, unconditioned tests of anxiety in the rat (hyponeophagia, black/white 2-compartment box test, a successive alleys test that represents a modified version of the elevated plus-maze, and a social interaction test). Dorsal hippocampal lesions did not produce anxiolytic effects on these tests, suggesting a distinct specialization of function within the hippocampus. Furthermore, the effects of ventral hippocampal lesions were also distinct from those of amygdala lesions. This suggests that the effects of ventral hippocampal lesions are not simply due to direct or indirect effects on the amygdala, and that these 2 brain areas contribute differentially to a brain system (or systems) associated with the processing of fearful and/or anxiogenic stimuli.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
