Sensitivity of the retrosplenial cortex to distal damage in a network associated with spatial memory : evidence from lesion and gene expression studies in the rat

This thesis explores the influence of brain regions in the extended hippocampal system on the activity of the retrosplenial cortex in the rat. The primary motivation of the experiments presented in this thesis is to improve the understanding of the vulnerability of the retrosplenial cortex, especial...
