title: Posterodorsal amygdaloid lesions and NaCl intake: a failure to replicate enhanced intake.
abstract: In a previous study from this lab, it was reported that lesions of the posterodorsal aspects of the amygdala in rats resulted in increased consumption of a 1.5% NaCl solution in a two-bottle preference test. Three subsequent studies failed to replicate this finding for any concentration of NaCl, and it is concluded that the prior result was a statistical Type I error.
