“…Furthermore, damage to the hippocampal formation can disrupt the organization of stopping, progression, and home base behaviors (Clark et al, 2005; Gorny et al, 2002; Hines & Whishaw, 2005; Lehmann et al, 2007; Wallace et al, 2002; Whishaw et al, 1994). In a previous study, we found moderate PAE (mPAE) rats exhibited alterations in their open-field behavior under lighted conditions in adulthood (Osterlund Oltmanns et al, 2022), with a sex-specific decrease in the stability of home base behavior, and organization of progression behaviors in male mPAE rats. It is unknown whether this pattern of behavior would generalize, or possibly expand, to include both sexes when animals are more reliant on self-motion cues to guide behavior.…”
