Abstract
Discriminant analysis is applied to the anatomical and behavioral data obtained on 18 unoperated control rats and 99 rats with lesions in and about the septal forebrain area. The analysis indicates that specific and, to some extent, disparate sub-areas of the septal region are involved in mediating the facilitated two-way avoidance performance and increased emotionality accompanying large septal lesions.
