Reconstruction of largest (dark stipple) and smallest (light stipple) thalamic lesions, as charted on plates of the atlas of Paxinos and Watson (1986); numbers refer to the atlas plates. The smallest lesions involved most of the Pom and much of the VPM, as well as other dorsal thalamic nuclei. The largest lesions involved a greater proportion of the VPM, and also typically damaged most of VPL and encroached on the thalamic reticular nucleus. Almost all lesions resulted in neuronal loss in the CA3 field of the dorsal hippocampus (indicated by hatching).
