Abstract
This study examined the effect of habenular or dorsomedial thalamic lesions on one-way active avoidance behavior in the rat. It was found that habenular lesions impaired avoidance responding and that the deficit appeared to be related to an abnormal freezing tendency. Dorsomedial thalamic lesions also resulted in impaired avoidance responding. However, since the thalamic lesion included several nuclei, it is not clear if any one nucleus was responsible for the effect.
