Abstract
Cats trained to discriminate between the speech sounds [u] and [i] do not retain and are unable to relearn this discrimination after bilateral ablation of the ventral insular-temporal cortex. In control animals, retention of this ability is not affected by bilateral removal of primary auditory receiving cortex.Keywords
