Martin MM, Carter LA, Jones JL, Winter SS, Wallace DG (2007) Organization of food protection behavior is differentially influenced by hippocampal and cortical cholinergic deafferentation. Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 742.6/AAA9. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Previous work has suggested that rats use temporal information to organize their food protection behaviors. Studies have demonstrated different
