Selective Lesioning of the Cholinergic Septo-Hippocampal Pathway Does Not Disrupt Spatial Short-Term Memory: A Comparison With the Effects of Fimbria-Fornix Lesions.

Rats receiving intrahippocampal injections of 192 IgG-saporin (SAP-HPC), fimbria-fornix lesions (FF), or sham control surgeries were tested in a series of delayed matching (DMTP)- and nonmatching (DNMTP)-to-position tasks. The FF group was significantly impaired on a pretrained DNMTP task relative t...
