Abstract

Bilateral amygdala lesions severely disrupt passive avoidance and fear behaviors. The effects of unilateral amygdala lesions on these behaviors are unclear, though unilateral lesions in other structures produce deficits similar to those produced by bilateral lesions. In the present experiment, female mice with unilateral or bilateral amygdala lesions manifested similar patterns of passive avoidance and fear behavior deficits. The results are discussed in light of previous passive avoidance and unilateral lesion studies.
