The effects of temporal lobectomy, lateral surface or ventral surface-hippocampal ablations
on acquisition and retention of visual discriminations in the baboon are reported. Total
lobectomy and ventral-hippocampal ablation produced deficits more marked in original
learning than in retention. Lateral resection had little effect on visual discrimination, and in
none of the animals was there impairment of delayed responses.(PsycINFO Database
