Cytotoxic lesions of the hippocampus increase social investigation but do not impair social-recognition memory.
A number of studies have implicated the hippocampal formation in social-recognition memory in the rat. The present study addressed this issue directly by assessing the effects of cytotoxic lesions confined to the hippocampus proper, encompassing the four CA subfields and the dentate gyrus, on this b...
