Role of the corpus callosum in expression of behavioral asymmetries induced by a unilateral dopamine lesion of the substantia nigra in the rat
Abstract
The present study examines the effects of sectioning the corpus callosum on the expression of asymmetric behaviors induced by a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion of the substantial nigra. Severing the corpus callosum eliminated the asymmetry in spontaneous investigation of edges in an open-field, without affecting total time of investigation. In contrast, callosotomy reduced the magnitude of externally cued turning, but failed to …
