Trials (T) and errors (E) to acquire 60 visual object discrimination problems before surgery (learning) that completed a crossed surgical disconnection of the amygdala plus PFo with either the medial portion of the MDm or the NA and to relearn the same problems after the disconnection had been completed (relearning). Prior to the present study, all monkeys in the two experimental groups had sustained unilateral lesions of the amygdala and PFo in one hemisphere (left or right). MDm-1 to MDm-3: monkeys designated to receive crossed disconnection of the amygdala plus PFo × MDm; NA-1 to NA-4: monkeys designated to receive crossed disconnection of the amygdala plus PFo × NA; CON-1 to CON-3: unoperated controls; CON-4*: operated control with partial section of the corpus callosum.
