Hippocampus and cue-directed attention. (a) The distance between the subjects and the corner of the platform nearest the active speaker is plotted during the sensory preconditioning session, 100 s exposure to the auditory cue, and the immediately preceding baseline period. Subjects with lesions to the dorsal hippocampus approached the active speaker at cue outset more than control subjects; (b) The head angle relative to the location of the active speaker during the baseline period and cue exposure is plotted. There was no difference between groups in head orientation change towards the location of the auditory cue; (c) The number of seconds spent immobile during the baseline period and after cue onset is plotted. Subjects with lesions to the dorsal hippocampus were immobile for the same amount of time as controls. There was an effect of time after cue onset in which there was greater immobility soon after cue onset than in later periods.
