lesions with behavioral deficits

FIG. 5. Examples and composites of lesions which produced behavioral deficits. A. Examples of two lesions which produced deficits in all four behaviors, boxing, open field, escape and feeding: outline of lesion of Rat B4l (solid line) which included maximal damage to the reticular formation lateral to the midbrain central gray: and outline of lesion of Rat H3 (dotted line) which included minimal damage to the reticular formation lateral to the central gray. B., C., D. Composite diagram for common damage in animals with boxing, escape and open field ambulation deficits, respectively. Those areas of brain damaged in all animals with the particular deficit are shown with solid shading. Those areas of brain damaged in all but one animal with the particular deficit are shown by cross-hatching.
