Turtles Emys orbicularis (14 individuals) with ablated middle-anterior parts of the forebrain dorsal cortex proved unable to solve a problem calling for extrapolating the direction of the movement of a food stimulus. Intact turtles (11 individuals) and those (six individuals) which underwent control operations (including ablation of the posterior part of the dorsal cortex) correctly solved the problem, beginning with its first presentations. A conclusion has been drawn on the significant part played by the middle-anterior parts of the forebrain dorsal cortex coinciding in turtles with the convergence zone of different afferent systems, in the integration of a complex form of behaviour linked with the pursuit of and search for a food object after its disappearance from the animal's visual field.
对14只乌龟（眼斑水龟）的前脑背侧皮质中前部进行切除后，它们无法解决一个需要推断食物刺激运动方向的问题。完整的乌龟（11只）以及接受对照手术（包括切除背侧皮质后部）的乌龟（6只）从首次呈现该问题起就能正确解决。已经得出结论：乌龟前脑背侧皮质的中前部与不同传入系统的汇聚区重合，在整合与追踪和寻找从动物视野中消失的食物对象相关的复杂行为形式中发挥着重要作用。
