pubmed:abstractText |
Lesions in the septum impaired performance on the Morris test, a task in which the rat locates a hidden escape platform by use of fixed landmarks, but facilitated a water maze-based left-right response differentiation, a task in which the rat finds a hidden escape ramp by means of its internal sense of direction. These results are interpreted as supporting an allocentric/egocentric dichotomy with respect to navigation, and support the notion that rats approach spatial problems with a hierarchy of potential solutions in which allocentric solutions take precedence over egocentric ones. The septal lesions are inferred to disrupt the allocentric mapping system.
