title: Effect of nucleus accumbens destruction in rat.
abstract: The paper presents the effects of nucleus accumbens destruction in rats. There are certain behavioral correlates (e.g., avoidance learning and dominance) which are influenced by the destruction of the nucleus accumbens, while other specific correlates are not significantly affected (namely, open field movements and competition for food). The results are discussed.
