ABSTRACT
Four monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were trained preoperatively in an automated object-in-place memory task in which they learned 20 new scenes in each daily session. In the object-in-place memory task, the correct, rewarded response in each scene is to a particular object of a pair, which always occupies a particular position in a unique background that has been generated using randomly chosen colors and shapes. Each animal then underwent two surgeries, with a period of testing after each. In the first, control surgery, each animal had either a unilateral lesion of the perirhinal cortex or unilateral fornix-fimbria transection, combined with section of the body and splenium of the corpus callosum and the anterior commissure (to prevent interhemispheric transfer of visual information). The disconnection was completed in the second surgery, after which all animals had a unilateral perirhinal cortex ablation in one hemisphere, unilateral fornix-fimbria transection in the contralateral hemisphere, and partial forebrain commissurotomy. The monkeys performance was compared for the learning of 200 scenes, preoperatively and after each surgery. After control surgery, the animals were mildly impaired on the object-in-place task. After disconnection, the animals showed a severe impairment in object-in-place memory. We conclude from this that, in episodic memory, the perirhinal cortex provides input of visual object information to the subiculum, hippocampus, and fornix.

INTRODUCTION
Much research attention has been focused on the role of the hippocampus and anatomically related structures in episodic memory. In nonhuman primates, one approach, which stresses the spatial nature of episodic memory, has been proposed by several researchers. This has been described as object-place association (Gaffan and Saunders, 1985), memory for the location of objects (Parkinson et al., 1988
The proposal that the perirhinal cortex is important in knowledge about objects has received support from both monkey lesion and single-cell recording experiments. Both Brown et al. (1987)
Anatomical studies of the connections of the perirhinal cortex show dense reciprocal connections between this area and the hippocampal formation involving highly processed sensory information from temporal association areas (Amaral and Insausti, 1990; Suzuki and Amaral, 1994
Because both the experimental and the anatomical evidence suggests that the perirhinal cortex supplies information about objects to the hippocampus-fornix system, one should expect that disconnection of the perirhinal cortex from the fornix would impair object-in-place memory. The present experiment tests this hypothesis by training animals on an object-in-place memory task known to be sensitive to bilateral fornix transection [Gaffan, 1994a
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Subjects. These were four young adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), three of which were male and one female. At the time of their first surgery, they weighed on average 5.8 kg. They had participated as normal animals in other studies before taking part in the present experiment. All of their experimental training before the present experiment had been in memory tasks with complex artificial scenes, similar to those used in the present experiment. Throughout this experiment, except while recovering after surgery, all animals received one session of training every day, at least 5 d/week.Each animal was operated on twice, with behavioral testing after each operation. Three of the monkeys had unilateral fornix-fimbria transection and partial forebrain commissurotomy in their first surgery and unilateral perirhinal ablation in the contralateral hemisphere in their second surgery. The fourth monkey (S3), had a perirhinal ablation in the first surgery and a contralateral fornix-fimbria transection plus commissurotomy in the second surgery. In all monkeys except one (S4), the perirhinal lesion was in the right hemisphere and the fornix-fimbria transection was in the left hemisphere. S4 had the lesions in the opposite hemispheres.
Surgery. Operations were carried out under aseptic conditions and, after ketamine premedication, barbiturate anesthesia was maintained until the end of the surgery. In all cases, after completion of the intended lesion, the bone flap was replaced and secured with loose silk sutures. Overlying tissue was sutured in anatomical layers. Before the resumption of training, 10-14 d were allowed for postoperative recovery.
Perirhinal cortex lesion. The arch of the zygoma was removed, and the temporal muscle was detached from the cranium and retracted. A bone flap was raised over the frontal and temporal lobe. The medial and posterior limits of the flap were in a crescent shape extending from within 5 mm of the midline at the brow to the posterior insertion of the zygomatic arch. The anterior limit of the flap was the brow and the orbit. Ventrally, the flap extended from the posterior insertion of the zygomatic arch to the level of the superior temporal sulcus in the lateral wall of the temporal fossa anteriorly. The ventral anterior part of this bone opening was then extended with a rongeur ventrally into the wall of the temporal fossa to reach the base of the temporal fossa. The dura mater was cut to expose the dorsolateral frontal and lateral temporal lobes. The most anterior part of the rhinal sulcus was visualized by retracting the frontal lobe from the orbit with a brain spoon. The dorsal limit of the removal on the anterior face of the temporal pole was ~2 mm ventral to the lateral sulcus. A line of pia mater was cauterized, and the underlying cortex was removed by aspiration in the lateral bank of the anterior part of the rhinal sulcus and in the adjacent 2 mm of cortex on the third temporal convolution. The monkey's head was then tilted to an angle of 120° from vertical, and the base of the temporal lobe was retracted from the floor of the temporal fossa with a brain spoon. The posterior tip of the first part of the ablation was identified visually and then extended in the lateral bank of the rhinal sulcus to the posterior tip of the sulcus, again removing 2 mm of laterally adjacent tissue. The dura mater was sewn and the wound closed in layers.
Body and splenium of the corpus callosum transection and anterior commissure section. A D-shaped bone flap was cut over the left hemisphere and removed. The dura was cut along the curved side of ``D'' and was reflected to expose part of the hemisphere and the midline. The hemispheres were separated, and the veins obscuring access to the corpus callosum were cauterized. The hemisphere was retracted from the falx to enable access to the interhemispheric fissure. A glass aspirator was used to section the corpus callosum near the midline (see below, Unilateral fornix transection) from the posterior limit of the splenium to the level of the interventricular foramen. The descending column of the fornix was gently retracted with a narrow brain spoon to enter the third ventricle. The anterior commissure was visualized and sectioned in the midline by electrocautery and aspiration with a 23-gauge metal aspirator that was insulated to the tip.
Unilateral fornix transection. The splenium section (described above) was carried out 1-2 mm lateral from the midline so as to open the lateral ventricle between the fimbria-fornix and the splenium. When the posterior limit of the fimbria and, anteriorly, the lateral limit of the fornix had both been exposed, the fimbria-fornix was cut unilaterally in a line between these two limits. The dura was replaced over the cortex but not sewn.
Histology. At the conclusion of the behavioral experiments, the animals were deeply anesthetized, then perfused through the heart with saline followed by formol/saline solution. The brains were blocked in the coronal stereotaxic plane posterior to the lunate sulcus, removed from the skull, and allowed to sink in sucrose/formalin solution. The brains were cut in 50 µm sections on a freezing microtome. Every fifth section was retained and stained with cresyl violet.
Figure 1 shows representative sections revealing the unilateral perirhinal lesion in each animal. In every case, the ablation was as intended. The ablation included the entire anterior-posterior extent of the lateral bank of the rhinal sulcus. The cortex in the medial bank of the rhinal sulcus and the cortex medial to the sulcus were substantially intact. The lateral limit of the ablation was in every case on the inferior temporal gyrus, lateral to the rhinal sulcus, leaving the cortex in the anterior middle temporal sulcus intact. The ablation extended slightly more laterally in cases S2 and S4 (the bottom two rows in Fig. 1) than in S3 and S1. Degeneration was visible in the white matter adjacent to the cortical removal. Although coronal sections are most appropriate for visualizing the main part of the ablation, as shown in Figure 1, the most anterior part of the ablation is difficult to interpret in coronal sections through the temporal pole. These are shown in the far left section from each animal in Figure 1. However, inspection of the temporal pole before the brains were sectioned confirmed that the ablation extended anteriorly and dorsally on the anterior face of the temporal pole to within 2 mm of the lateral sulcus, in the lateral bank of the most anterior part of the rhinal sulcus and in the laterally adjacent cortex, sparing the tissue medial to the rhinal sulcus.

The entire hemisphere is shown in the top row, for orientation, and the temporal lobe is shown at greater magnification in the four lower rows. The sections, running from anterior at the left to posterior at the right, are from S3 (rows 1 and 2), S1 (row 3), S2 (row 4), and S4 (row 5). Sections are ~2.5 mm apart in the fixed tissue. See text for description of ablations. Sections from animals S1, S2, and S3 are from the right hemisphere. The sections from animal S4 are from the left hemisphere and have been mirror-image-reversed for ease of comparison with the other animals.

Figure 2 shows representative sections revealing the unilateral fimbria-fornix in animal S3. In every case, there was a complete unilateral section of the fornix with no damage outside the fornix except for the incision in the corpus callosum and at most minor unilateral damage to the most inferior part of the cingulate gyrus at the site of the corpus callosum incision.

Test apparatus. The monkey was brought to the training apparatus in a wheeled transport cage, which was then fixed to the front of the apparatus. The monkey could reach out through bars at the front of the transport cage to touch a touch-sensitive monitor screen that was 150 mm from the front of the cage. The screen was 380 mm wide and 280 mm high. Each scene in the experiment, as described below (see Stimulus materials), occupied the entire screen. A closed-circuit television system allowed the experimenter in another room to watch the monkey. Small food rewards (pellets, 190 mg) were delivered into a hopper placed centrally underneath the monitor screen. A single large food reward was delivered at the end of each training session by opening a box that was set to one side of the centrally placed hopper. The box contained peanuts, raisins, proprietary monkey food, fruit, and seeds. The amount of this large reward was adjusted for individual animals to avoid obesity. The small and large rewards dispensed in the training apparatus provided the entire daily diet of the monkeys on days with a training session. Opening of the box with the large food reward, like all other aspects of the stimulus display and the experimental contingencies during any session of training, was under computer control.
Stimulus materials. The computer-generated scenes used in this experiment were generated in the same way as those described in Gaffan [1994 (task 5)]. Foreground objects, of which there were two in each scene, consisted of randomly selected small typographic characters, each placed in a constant location in the scene. Backgrounds were generated using an algorithm that drew a random number of ellipses and ellipse segments (between 2 and 7) of random color, position, and size, on a randomly colored initial background. The entire color space was equally available to objects and to backgrounds. Each animal was tested using a different set of scenes. Feedback for a correct response consisted of the correct object flashing on and off while a reward pellet was delivered. Each scene contained one correct and one incorrect object. Each of these objects was always presented in a constant place in a constant unique background.
Experimental procedure. The lists of object-in-place scenes contained 20 scenes. Each new list of 20 scenes was presented for one session of 160 trials (8 trials per scene). Each scene was presented once in each of 8 blocks of 20 trials within a session. The order of presentation of the 20 scenes was the same in each block. Every scene had a correct response area, where the positive (rewarded) foreground object was displayed, and an incorrect response area, which contained the negative (unrewarded) foreground object. On each trial, the display remained on the screen until the animal touched either the positive or the negative object. If the monkey touched the positive object, it flashed on and off in the scene for 2400 msec and a reward pellet was dispatched into the hopper in front of the monkey. An intertrial interval of 10 sec then began, ending with the presentation of the next trial in the session. In blocks 2 through 8 in each session, if the object touched was the negative, the screen blanked, followed after an intertrial interval of 10 sec by the next scheduled trial in the session, without any correction trials in the scene in which an error had been committed. Correction trials were presented only in the first block of 20 trials in each session, that is, the first run through the list. A correction trial consisted in the presentation of the scene with only one object in it, the positive; when a response to the positive was emitted, flashing and food followed as in the main trials of the task. For the final scene in the session, the final reward pellet was followed by a large food reward (see Apparatus) and the animal was given at least 10 min to eat some of this food and take the remainder into the cheek pouches, before being returned to the home cage. For this trial alone among the trials after the first block of 20 trials, a correction trial was presented if an error was made (thus ensuring that the large food reward was always obtained).
Preoperative training and testing. Subjects received one training session per day, at least 5 d/week, until a stable level of performance was reached. Each animal received at least 60 sessions. For establishing the preoperative level of performance, 10 lists of 20 new scenes were then presented, a total of 200 scenes, one list per session for 10 sessions.
Postoperative testing. After each of the two surgeries, the animals were trained on 12 new lists of scenes, over 12 consecutive sessions. Of these 12 lists, the first two were discounted for statistical analysis (this procedure was adopted in previous experiments using this task, and it allows for the often variable performance of monkeys when they restart training after surgery). Each list contained 20 new scenes, which were repeated 8 times. Each new set was presented in one session only.
RESULTS
Table 1 shows the percent error scores for each individual monkey in each phase of the experiment. Each of the animals showed an increase in error score after unilateral perirhinal cortex ablation or after unilateral fornix transection and partial forebrain commissurotomy. In the final stage of the experiment, after the second surgery, each animal showed a much larger increase in error score.

To compare efficiency of learning in each phase of the experiment, a one-way ANOVA of the three phases of the experiment showed a significant effect of surgical treatments (F(2,6) = 148.45, p < 0.001). A planned comparison (using the pooled error term) comparing preoperation score and postoperation one score showed a significant effect (t(6) = 2.85, p < 0.05), which reflects the fact that there was an increase in error rate in phase 2, after unilateral perirhinal lesion, or after partial forebrain commissurotomy and unilateral fornix transection. A planned comparison between postoperation one and postoperation two scores revealed a highly significant difference in error score (t(6) = 13.28, p < 0.01), indicating that in phase 3, after complete disconnection, the animals were much more impaired than in phase 2.
A further analysis was made of the post-first-surgery data to test whether errors were related to the side (left or right) of the unilateral lesion. In any scene, there were 15 possible horizontal positions that the S+ or the S
could occupy. In the analysis, these 15 positions were expressed for each scene as ranging from the position most ipsilateral to the side of the unilateral lesion in the animal that learned that scene (position 1), to the position most contralateral to the side of the lesion (position 15). (Each individual monkey learned a different series of scenes.) Then the total of errors was summed, across all scenes for all monkeys, for each of these 15 possible positions, separately for the position of the S+ and the position of the S
DISCUSSION
In the first stage of surgery, the perirhinal cortex was ablated unilaterally in one monkey, whereas in the other three monkeys the fornix was transected unilaterally in combination with partial forebrain commissurotomy (section of the anterior commissure and of the posterior part of the corpus callosum). Monkeys showed only a mild impairment in the object-in-place memory task after this first stage of surgery. The impairment at this stage (see Table 1, Fig. 3) was quantitatively similar to the impairments in visual learning that have been reported in earlier studies after unilateral amygdalectomy or unilateral ablation of inferior temporal cortex (E. A. Gaffan et al., 1988In the second stage of surgery, we operated on the hemisphere that had been left intact in the first stage. After the second surgery, all monkeys had unilateral perirhinal cortex ablation in one hemisphere and unilateral fornix transection in the opposite hemisphere, combined with partial forebrain commissurotomy. All of the animals now showed a severe impairment in object-in-place learning. Quantitatively, this impairment was similar in severity to those that have been seen in earlier studies of the object-in-place memory task after bilateral lesions in the fornix (Gaffan, 1994a
The perirhinal cortex and the subiculum of the hippocampus are reciprocally connected within each hemisphere (Amaral and Insausti, 1990) and, in addition, can exchange information indirectly by projections to and from the entorhinal cortex (Insausti et al., 1987
The perirhinal cortex and the fornix can function independently of each other in some memory tasks. This is shown by the dissociated effects of bilateral lesions in these two structures. For example, monkeys with bilateral fornix transection were impaired in a serial spatial discrimination learning task in which one of two locations (left and right) contained food, but monkeys with bilateral perirhinal cortex ablation were not impaired in this task (Gaffan, 1994b
The pathway through subiculum, fornix, mamillary nuclei, and anterior thalamus is essential for normal episodic memory in the human brain (Delay and Brion, 1969
Ablations restricted to the perirhinal cortex, on the other hand, impair trial-unique matching- or nonmatching-to-sample (Meunier et al., 1993
In summary, therefore, we draw three conclusions, of which the third is new and is supported by the present study. (1) The fornix, but not the perirhinal cortex, is essential for tasks such as the simple spatial learning task of Gaffan (1994b
