We investigated the effects of localized medial and lateral CPu
lesions and fornix/fimbria lesions on responses to a local cue and to
behavior based on cognitive-spatial information in the water maze.
Rats were trained concurrently on the cue (visible platform) and
spatial (submerged platform) components of the task, followed by a test
in which responses to the two types of information were dissociated by
a measure of competing response tendencies. Bilateral lesions of
lateral CPu did not affect acquisition of either cue or spatial
responding but produced a preference for the spatial response on the
competition test. Bilateral lesions of the medial CPu retarded but did
not prevent learning both components and produced a preference for the
cue response on the competition test. The latter effect was accompanied
by increased thigmotaxis (swimming in the periphery of the pool),
primarily during the early acquisition trials, which was attributed to
an impaired ability to respond to learned spatial information.
Fornix/fimbria lesions prevented spatial but not cue learning and
produced a preference for the cue response on the competition test.
Asymmetric lesions (unilateral hippocampus and contralateral medial
CPu) produced mild retardation of acquisition of both the cue and
spatial tasks and a preference for the cue response on the competition test. These findings dissociate the functions of the lateral and medial
CPu and suggest that the hippocampus and medial CPu may be parts of a
system that promotes responding based on learned cognitive-spatial
information, particularly in competitive cue-place response situations.
Key words:
dorsal striatum; medial CPu; lateral CPu; fornix/fimbria; hippocampal-striatal interactions; water maze; cue/place learning; competition test; asymmetric lesion; functional limbic circuit
