Abstract

Different forms of behavior (instrumental conditioned reflexes, generalization tests, extrapolatory reflexes) were investigated before and after lesions of the caudate nucleus or pharmacological influence on its cholinergic systems. Postoperative deficit was small in well-elaborated forms of behavior and large in complex tasks. Chemical stimulation of the caudate nucleus was followed by depression of acquired forms of alimentary behavior.
