Abstract
Rats with probes chronically implanted in the hippocampal gyrus and the dentate gyrus were subjected to self-stimulation tests. Electric stimulation in hippocampal gyrus produced bar-pressing rates significantly above operant levels; electric stimulation in dentate gyrus produced rates significantly below operant levels. Self-stimulation rates via hippocampal probes were far lower than those observed in other related studies utilizing probes in hypothalamus.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
