Postlesion Axonal Growth Produces Permanent Functional Connections
TL;DR: Lesions of the entorhinal cortex in neonatal rats cause the commissural projections to the dentate gyrus to spread from their normal location in the inner molecular layer into the outer molecular layer, suggesting that these abnormally located connections are operative.

A neurophysiological analysis of commissural projections to dentate gyrus of the rat.
TL;DR: The electrophysiological properties of the commissural projections to the dentate gyrus of the rat were investigated using extracellular field-potential and unit-recording techniques and the negative field potential proved to satisfy a number of criteria for theextracellular representation of the summed EPSPs of synchronously activated granule cells.

Time-dependent changes in commissural field potentials in the dentate gyrus following lesions of the entorhinal cortex in adult rats.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the growth of the commissural system seen after entorhinal lesions results in the rapid formation of functional terminals and are discussed in relationship to the behavioral consequences of brain lesions.

A microdrive for use with glass or metal microelectrodes in recording from freely-moving rats ☆
TL;DR: A new subminiature microdrive assembly is described for electrophysiological recording from behaving rats, which allows excellent precision in electrode placement and can maintain stable recordings over extended periods.

Retrograde amnesia and cholinergic systems in the caudate-putamen complex and dorsal hippocampus of the rat.
TL;DR: Rats previously well trained to lick at a water tube were given a foot shock and then tested 24 hr later for retention of that experience, indicating that different chemical systems may be involved in these brain regions' influence in the production of retrograde amnesia.
