Abstract
To investigate effects of frontal ablations or caudate-putamen lesions on response inhibition, 45 food-deprived rats were trained on one of three DRL schedules. The results suggest that neither frontal ablations nor caudate-putamen lesions differentially affect DRL performance when compared to sham-controls.
