Adult rats, previously subjected to bilateral frontal, parietal, occipital, frontocingulate or posterior cingulate ablations, were required to learn two discrete latch-box tasks (sliding a barrel-bolt to the right and elevating a hook). Those groups showing significant learning impairments had lesions to either the frontal cortex or frontocingulate cortex. The data suggest that the neocortical focus for latch-box deficits lies rostral to Level 8 on the Lashley brain diagram, while the frontocingulate focus for latch-box deficits lies within the prelimbic area.
成年大鼠先前接受了双侧额叶、顶叶、枕叶、额扣带回或后扣带回切除术，之后被要求学习两项不同的闩锁箱任务（将桶栓向右滑动和提起挂钩）。那些表现出明显学习障碍的组，其额叶皮质或额扣带回皮质有损伤。数据表明，闩锁箱缺陷的新皮质焦点位于拉什利脑图谱上第8层的前方，而闩锁箱缺陷的额扣带回焦点位于边缘前区。
