Effect of pPVT lesions on the acquisition of a novel fear, motivation for food reward, and locomotor activity. (A) Lesions of the pPVT or the midline thalamus had no effect on the freezing displayed in rats exposed to a new fear conditioning protocol. Each data point represents a single conditioning trial. (B) Lesions of the pPVT or the midline thalamus did not affect the breakpoint in food deprived or non-deprived rats. (C) Lesions of the pPVT did not affect the amount of locomotor activity displayed by rats during the pre-CS period of expression test. Results are presented as mean ± SEM.
