title: A further study on the effect of medial prefrontal ablation upon classical defensive conditoned relfexes in dogs.
abstract: In 8 dogs with removed medial prefrontal cortex, the positive and differential classically conditioned leg flexion responses and accompanying heart rate reactions were not changed or slightly reduced. In some animals a transient increase in cardiac responses to shock was also observed.
