Abstract
Previous work has demonstrated that forelimb-digital usage is disrupted in rats with frontal cortical lesions. The present experiment indicates that other motor functions, specifically tongue usage, are also influenced by the rodent cerebral cortex. The observed deficits of tongue usage were related to frontal cortical lesion placement and thereby support recent electrophysiological mapping studies of the rodent motor and somatosensory cortex. Bilateral frontal cortical lesions which were placed in two operative stages with interoperative testing did not spare tongue usage.
