Tactile acuity in the blind: a psychophysical study using a two-dimensional angle discrimination task.

abstract：:Adult male rats were injected with 6-hydroxydopamine, either into the lateral brain ventricle or directly into the dorsal hippocampus. They were adrenalectomized 5-7 days later, and following an additional 24 hours, the specific in vitro 3H-corticosterone binding capacity of dorsal hippocampal slices was determined by...
