Visual disturbance as a sequel to unilateral frontal lesions in the rat.

Abstract

After preliminary determination of turning tendency in a Y-maze, unilateral frontal lesions were produced. Animals tested on the day following operation showed a great preponderance of runs to the side of the lesion. Tests on the 14th post-operative day showed the same trend in a less pronounced manner. Animals blinded after preliminary testing and then subjected to frontal lesions showed equivocal reversals after operation on the non-preferred side.
