The effect of anteroventral and anterodorsal thalamic nuclei lesions on emotional reactivity has been studied. The behavior of 18 rats (half of them bearing thalamic lesions) was studied by means of the open field and the acquisition of a conditioned emotional response (Estes and Skinner technique). Results show that no differences between control and experimental animals were found in exploratory behavior in the open field, where the number of defecations in each group was similar. They also show great impairment in the acquisition of a conditioned emotional response in experimental animals. These results suggest that the structures under study might be involved in the regulation of emotional reactivity.
已对丘脑前腹侧核和前背侧核损伤对情绪反应性的影响进行了研究。通过旷场试验和条件性情绪反应的习得（埃斯蒂斯和斯金纳技术）对18只大鼠（其中一半有丘脑损伤）的行为进行了研究。结果表明，在旷场试验中的探索行为方面，对照组和实验组动物之间未发现差异，每组的排便次数相似。结果还表明，实验组动物在条件性情绪反应的习得方面有严重损伤。这些结果表明，所研究的结构可能参与情绪反应性的调节。
