Mind, Brain, Body, and Behavior

130 FARRERAS

The Section on Animal Behavior consisted of Rosvold, from Yale

University, as chief, and its research focused on: 1) the prefrontal cortex

in problem-solving and the effects of frontal lobe damage on delayed-

response, discrimination, and learning-set tasks; 2) the dorsal and

ventral streams in visual information processing, specifically, the rela­

tionship of the inferior temporal cortex to the striate cortex in visual

discrimination learning; 3) behavioral deficits following brain damage

through the Continuous Performance Test; 4) EEG correlates of sus­

tained attentive behaviors in humans; 5) behavioral effects of centrally-

acting drugs; 6) cerebral mechanisms underlying functional plasticity;

and 7) the neural regulation of appetitive behavior.^9
