Abstract
Following small bilateral amygdaloid lesions or pyriform cortex lesions rats were tested for both passive and active avoidance. Damage to an area roughly corresponding to the basal amygdaloid nucleus was most consistently related to disruption of passive avoidance. Pyriform cortex lesions also impaired passive avoidance but this result was not replicated in a second experiment. Neither amygdaloid nor pyriform cortex lesions disrupted active avoidance.
