Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of telencephalic pallial lesions on spatial, temporal, and emotional learning in goldfish.

TL;DR: These functional data support the homology between the medial pallium of the teleost and the pallial amygdala of land vertebrates, and between theteleost lateral pallium and the mammalian hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial memory and hippocampal pallium through vertebrate evolution: insights from reptiles and teleost fish

TL;DR: Data presented suggest that early in vertebrate evolution, the medial pallium of an ancestral fish group that gave rise to the extant vertebrates became specialized for processing and encoding complex spatial information, and that this functional trait has been retained through the evolution of each independent vertebrate lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of goldfish trained in allocentric and egocentric maze procedures suggests the presence of a cognitive mapping system in fishes

TL;DR: The results suggest that, in addition to using egocentric strategies, goldfish are able to solve spatial tasks on the basis of allocentric frames of reference and to build complex spatial cognitive representations of their environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial learning and memory deficits after telencephalic ablation in goldfish trained in place and turn maze procedures.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the fish telencephalon plays a crucial role in complex place learning, and that ablation exclusively impaired performance in animals using place strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Encoding of geometric and featural spatial information by goldfish (Carassius auratus).

TL;DR: Results suggest that the geometric properties of the spatial arrangement and discrete landmarks are sensitive to encoding in a maplike or relational system, whereas different sources of spatial information are encoded in a single and flexible representation of the environment.
