In a comparative study of forebrain mechanisms of species-typical behavior, unilateral lesions were placed in the subpallial telencephalon of male green anolis lizards (Anolis carolinsis), in which there is an almost complete decussation of the optic nerve. Responses to a conspecific male antagonist in a territorial confrontation were then tested when the subject's vision was limited to an eye leading to either the normal or lesioned hemisphere. In lizards with lesions involving the paleostriatum and lateral forebrain bundle, there was an elimination of or marked deficit in the performance of the challenge display while signature displays and measures of general activity were not significantly affected. Lesions predominantly in anterior or posterior dorsal ventricular ridge resulted in no significant deficit in any behavioral measure.
在一项关于物种典型行为的前脑机制的比较研究中，对雄性绿安乐蜥（安乐蜥属）的大脑皮质下端脑进行单侧损伤，该物种的视神经几乎完全交叉。当受试蜥蜴的视觉仅通过一只通向正常或损伤半球的眼睛时，测试其在领地对抗中对同种雄性对手的反应。在损伤累及旧纹状体和外侧前脑束的蜥蜴中，挑战展示的表现消除或明显受损，而标志性展示和一般活动指标未受到显著影响。主要位于背侧脑室嵴前部或后部的损伤在任何行为指标上均未导致显著缺陷。
