title: Enhanced recovery of learned alternation in ganglioside-treated rats after unilateral entorhinal lesions.
abstract: The present study demonstrates that an abbreviated regimen of ganglioside treatments attenuates the behavioral impairments produced by unilateral lesions of the entorhinal cortex. Ganglioside treatments not only accelerate recovery of learned alternation on a Y-maze, but also reduce total errors and perseverative errors.
