Abstract
Fifty-four patients with Parkinson's disease were examined on formal tests of general intelligence, memory and learning, before and after a stereotaxic operation. Unilateral lesions in the ventrolateral nucleus of the thalamus did not affect intelligence as measured here, but did impair memory and learning. It is therefore suggested that such thalamic lesions selectively hamper the retention of new information.
