Rats with radio-frequency or ibotenic acid lesions of the
hippocampus and rats with radio-frequency lesions of the fornix were
tested on the visual paired comparison task (VPC), a test of
recognition memory. Memory was assessed at five different delay intervals ranging from 10 sec to 24 hr. All operated groups performed normally at the shorter delays (10 sec and 1 min). Across longer delays, the two groups with hippocampal damage were impaired. Rats with
fornix lesions performed well on the VPC task but were impaired on a
spatial task (spontaneous alternation). The results show that the
hippocampus is essential for normal recognition memory. Moreover,
fornix lesions need not mimic the effects of direct damage to
hippocampal tissue. The findings are discussed in the context of the
contribution of the hippocampus to recognition memory.
Key words:
hippocampus; rats; visual paired comparison; fornix; ibotenic acid lesions; radio-frequency lesions; spontaneous
alternation
