Differential effects of fornix and caudate nucleus lesions on two radial maze tasks: evidence for multiple memory systems
MG Packard, R Hirsh and NM White
Department of Psychology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The present experiments were designed to examine the hypothesis that the
mammalian brain contains anatomically distinct memory systems. Rats with
bilateral lesions of caudate nucleus or fimbria-fornix and a control group
were tested postoperatively on 1 of 2 versions of the radial maze task. In
a standard win-shift version, each of the 8 arms of the maze was baited
once, and the number of errors (revisits) in the first 8 choices of each
trial was recorded. Fimbria-fornix rats were impaired in choice accuracy,
while caudate animals were unimpaired relative to controls. Different
groups of rats with similar lesions were tested on a newly developed
win-stay version of the radial maze, in which the location of 4 randomly
selected baited arms was signaled by a light at the entrance to each arm,
and which required rats to revisit arms in which reinforcement had been
previously acquired within a trial. Rats with fimbria-fornix lesions were
superior to controls in choice accuracy on the win-stay radial maze task,
while caudate animals were impaired relative to controls. The results
demonstrate a double dissociation of the mnemonic functions of the
hippocampus and caudate nucleus. Some implications of the presence of 2
memory systems in the mammalian brain are discussed.
