“…But they developed loss of discrimination between different stimuli. Temporal lobectomy (which included the uncus and amygdala) produced an ipsilateral defect whereas frontal lobectomy (especially R) produced a bilateral deficit (see also Carroll, Richardson, & Thompson, 1993;Bellas, Novelly, & Eskenaz, 1989). Price, Slotnick, and Revial, (1991) suggest that the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus (MD) (and associated cortex) is implicated in olfactory discrimination and complex learning whereas the hypothalamus mediates the autonomic and neuroendocrine aspects of olfactory-guided behaviors (e.g., feeding, aggression, reproduction).…”
