Effects of frontal cortex and caudate nucleus lesions on stimulus generalization learning in rats

The purpose of the present experiment was to compare the behavioral consequences in rats of lesions of the frontal pole area (FP), the anterior median cortex (AM) described by Leonard, and the caudate nucleus (CN) on a brightness stimulus generalization task. It was hypothesized that deficits in stimulus generalization learning would be demonstrated by rats who received the AM and CN lesions, and that no deficits would be shown by FP lesioned and control (c) animals.
