Interaction of inferior temporal cortex with frontal cortex and basal forebrain: Double dissociation in strategy implementation and associative learning (2002)
Journal Article
Gaffan, D., Easton, A., & Parker, A. (2002). Interaction of inferior temporal cortex with frontal cortex and basal forebrain: Double dissociation in strategy implementation and associative learning. Journal of Neuroscience, 22(16), 7288-7296

Macaque monkeys learned a strategy task in which two groups of visual objects needed to be treated differently, one with persistent and one with sporadic object choices, to obtain food rewards. After preoperative training, they were divided into two...

Unilateral lesions of the cholinergic basal forebrain and fornix in one hemisphere and inferior temporal cortex in the opposite hemisphere produce severe learning impairments in rhesus monkeys (2002)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Ridley, R., Baker, H., & Gaffan, D. (2002). Unilateral lesions of the cholinergic basal forebrain and fornix in one hemisphere and inferior temporal cortex in the opposite hemisphere produce severe learning impairments in rhesus monkeys. Cerebral Cortex, 12(7), 729-736. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/12.7.729

It has been proposed that isolation of the inferior temporal cortex and medial temporal lobe from their cholinergic afferents results in a severe anterograde amnesia. To test this hypothesis directly, seven rhesus monkeys received a unilateral immuno...

Dense amnesia in the monkey after transaction of fornix, amygdala and anterior temporal stem (2001)
Journal Article
Gaffan, D., Parker, A., & Easton, A. (2001). Dense amnesia in the monkey after transaction of fornix, amygdala and anterior temporal stem. Neuropsychologia, 39, 51-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3932%2800%2900097-x

The traditional explanation of dense amnesia after medial temporal lesions is that the amnesia is caused by damage to the hippocampus and related structures. An alternative view is that dense amnesia after medial temporal lesions is caused by the int...

Crossed unilateral lesions of medial forebrain bundle and either inferior temporal or frontal cortex impair object recognition memory in Rhesus monkeys. (2001)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Parker, A., & Gaffan, D. (2001). Crossed unilateral lesions of medial forebrain bundle and either inferior temporal or frontal cortex impair object recognition memory in Rhesus monkeys. Behavioural Brain Research, 121(1-2), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0166-4328%2800%2900384-3

In monkeys, section of the fornix, amygdala and anterior temporal stem results in a severe anterograde amnesia. Immunolesions of the cholinergic cells of the basal forebrain suggest that this amnesia is a result of isolating the inferior temporal cor...

Crossed unilateral lesions of the medial forebrain bundle and either inferior temporal or frontal cortex impair object-reward association learning in Rhesus monkeys (2001)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Gaffan, D. (2001). Crossed unilateral lesions of the medial forebrain bundle and either inferior temporal or frontal cortex impair object-reward association learning in Rhesus monkeys. Neuropsychologia, 39(1), 71-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3932%2800%2900098-1

In an accompanying paper we showed that combined transection of the fornix, amygdala and temporal stem in monkeys produced dense amnesia, including an impairment in visual object-reward association learning. We proposed that this combined surgical se...

Comparison of perirhinal cortex ablation and crossed unilateral lesions of the medial forebrain bundle from the inferior temporal cortex in the rhesus monkey: effects on learning and retrieval (2000)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Gaffan, D. (2000). Comparison of perirhinal cortex ablation and crossed unilateral lesions of the medial forebrain bundle from the inferior temporal cortex in the rhesus monkey: effects on learning and retrieval. Behavioral Neuroscience, 114, 1041-1057. https://doi.org/10.1037/0735-7044.114.6.1041

Seven monkeys learned new object-reward associations and scene problems and were overtrained on 100 problems of each type. Four monkeys received crossed lesions of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) and inferior temporal cortex, with the later additio...
