Assessing the magnitude of the allocentric spatial deficit associated with complete loss of the anterior thalamic nuclei in rats

The behavioural effects of complete lesions of the anterior thalamic nuclei (ANT), the anterior thalamic nuclei plus the lateral dorsal nucleus (ANT+LD), and fornix (FX) were compared using a series of tests of spatial memory. All three lesion groups were found to have an equally severe and long-las...
