Multiple Parallel Memory Systems in the Brain of the Rat
- N. White, R. McDonald
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
- 1 March 2002
A theory of multiple parallel memory systems in the brain of the rat is described. Each system consists of a series of interconnected neural structures. The "central structures" of the three systems… Expand
Differential effects of fornix and caudate nucleus lesions on two radial maze tasks: evidence for multiple memory systems
- M. Packard, R. Hirsh, N. White
- Psychology, Medicine
- The Journal of neuroscience : the official…
- 1 May 1989
The present experiments were designed to examine the hypothesis that the mammalian brain contains anatomically distinct memory systems. Rats with bilateral lesions of caudate nucleus or… Expand
Parallel Information Processing in the Dorsal Striatum: Relation to Hippocampal Function
We investigated the effects of localized medial and lateral CPu lesions and fornix/fimbria lesions on responses to a local cue and to behavior based on cognitive–spatial information in the water… Expand
Parallel information processing in the water maze: evidence for independent memory systems involving dorsal striatum and hippocampus.
- R. McDonald, N. White
- Psychology, Medicine
- Behavioral and neural biology
- 1 May 1994
This experiment investigated the ability of rats with dorsal striatal or fornix damage to learn the location of a visible platform in a water maze. We also assessed the animals' ability to find the… Expand
Addictive drugs as reinforcers: multiple partial actions on memory systems.
- N. White
- Psychology, Medicine
- Addiction
- 1 July 1996
This review applies some new experimental findings and theoretical ideas about how reinforcers act on the neural mechanisms of learning and memory to the problem of how addictive drugs affect… Expand
A triple dissociation of memory systems: hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsal striatum.
- R. McDonald, N. White
- Medicine
- Behavioral neuroscience
- 1993
This study investigated the respective roles of the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the dorsal striatum in learning and memory. A standard set of experimental conditions for studying the effects of… Expand
Dopamine D3 Receptor Mutant Mice Exhibit Increased Behavioral Sensitivity to Concurrent Stimulation of D1 and D2 Receptors
- M. Xu, T. E. Koeltzow, +7 authors S. Tonegawa
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Neuron
- 1 October 1997
The dopamine D3 receptor is expressed primarily in regions of the brain that are thought to influence motivation and motor functions. To specify in vivo D3 receptor function, we generated mutant mice… Expand
Effects of medial and lateral caudate-putamen lesions on place- and cue-guided behaviors in the water maze: relation to thigmotaxis
- B. Devan, R. McDonald, N. White
- Psychology, Medicine
- Behavioural Brain Research
- 1 April 1999
Rats with dorsomedial or dorsolateral caudate-putamen lesions and sham-operated controls were trained on the standard hidden platform (place) task in the water maze. Compared to controls, rats with… Expand
Dissociation of hippocampus and caudate nucleus memory systems by posttraining intracerebral injection of dopamine agonists.
- M. Packard, N. White
- Medicine
- Behavioral neuroscience
- 1991
The effect of posttraining intracerebral injections of the indirect dopamine (DA) agonist d-amphetamine, the direct D2 agonist LY 171555, and the direct D1 agonist SKF-38393 on the acquisition of two… Expand

- R. McDonald, N. White
- Psychology, Medicine
- Behavioral neuroscience
- 1 February 1993
This study investigated the respective roles of the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the dorsal striatum in learning and memory. A standard set of experimental conditions for studying the effects of… Expand
