Learning and memory functions of the Basal Ganglia.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that during learning, basal ganglia and medial temporal lobe memory systems are activated simultaneously and that in some learning situations competitive interference exists between these two systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A triple dissociation of memory systems: hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsal striatum

TL;DR: The results of this study are consistent with the hypothesis that the mammalian brain may be capable of acquiring different kinds of information with different, more-or-less independent neural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of fornix and caudate nucleus lesions on two radial maze tasks: evidence for multiple memory systems.

TL;DR: A double dissociation of the mnemonic functions of the hippocampus and caudate nucleus is demonstrated, demonstrating the presence of 2 memory systems in the mammalian brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple parallel memory systems in the brain of the rat.

TL;DR: A theory of multiple parallel memory systems in the brain of the rat is described, which consists of a series of interconnected neural structures that can be cooperative or competitive, and experimental findings consistent with these ideas are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topographical organization and relationship with ventral striatal compartments of prefrontal corticostriatal projections in the rat.

TL;DR: The anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris‐leucoagglutinin was used to examine the topographical organization of the projections to the striatum arising from the various cytoarchitectonic subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex in the rat.

Behavioral effects of selective ablation of the caudate nucleus

TL;DR: It is suggested that the CAUDATE may be EQUIPOTENTIAL with the CEREBRAL CORTEX and capable of ASSUMing CORTICAL FUNCTIONS.

Caudate, cortical, hippocampal and dorsal thalamic lesions in rats: alternation and hebb-williams maze performance

TL;DR: The present results support Hunter's interpretation that Lashley's “mass action” results may be attributed to progressive enroachment on specific “critical” regions.
