Inhibitory effect of neural transections of dorsal raphe nucleus on induction of nocturnal prolactin surge by vaginal stimulation in ovariectomized rats
“…The beak bar was lowered 8.5 mm ventrally to the ear bar. The tip of the hook-shaped Halasz knife (1.5 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.5 mm) [49] was lowered 5 mm anteriorly to the ear bar, 3.7 mm ventrally to the surface of the skull, and 3.0 mm laterally to the midline. The knife was turned 360° in the entopallial-lesioned group, whereas the knife was not turned in the sham-lesioned group.…”
Background: Imprinting behavior is one form of learning and memory in precocial birds. With the aim of elucidating of the neural basis for visual imprinting, we focused on visual information processing.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
