Experimenters lesioned the hippocampus of rats, and then trained them to perform a task alongside sham-operated controls. Both groups of animals could train to a task equally as well. However, when removed from the training environment and tested to recall the task, the lesioned animals always take longer to finish. This effect is mitigated when the lesioned animals are given a cortisol synthesis inhibitor. What does this indicate regarding stress, learning, and memory?
