title: Effect of hippocampal lesion on estrus cycle and estrus activity in rats.
abstract: Dorsal hippocampal lesions in adult female rats leads to alteration in the estrus cycle with preponderance of estrus phase. The activity of the animals after the lesion increases, but it remains coupled with post lesion estrus cycle.
