This experiment had two goals: (1) to test the reliability of the spared location learning in Experiment 5, and (2) to use the same location cues as in Experiment 4, where hippocampal lesions produced a biconditional learning deficit.
The matching patterns of learning found after hippocampal (Albasser et al., 2013) and anterior thalamic lesions for the biconditional discriminations that involved either local contextual cues (spared) or distal location information (impaired) highlight the need to understand what qualitatively separates contextual cues from spatial cues.
Although both the parahippocampal gyrus and the hippocampus have been found to be implicated in mnemonic object-location binding [35], [36], a previous study investigating object-location memory in virtual rooms has demonstrated spared implicit memory for object-location as well in AD patients [37].
A kindergarten in the city of Ishinomaki was spared, because of its location on a hilltop, but its school bus was not.
While the rest of the station was torn apart in the early 1960's and hauled to the Meadowlands, these granite blocks were evidently spared because of their subterranean location.
In more standard swimming tasks, a potentially similar dissociation between how to first get there (impaired) and recognizing the correct location once reached (spared) has been described in rats with an isolated hippocampal CA1 field (Brun et al., 2002) and in rats with fimbria-fornix lesions (Eichenbaum et al., 1990; Whishaw et al., 1995).
The Alumni Wreck is distinguished by its spare tire locations on the driver's side and passenger's side runningboards and the words "Georgia Tech Alumni Association" printed on the doors.
No expense was spared in recreating the film's exotic locations, though.
It remains unclear, however, why glomeruli are often spared by the metastatic process given their upstream location in relation to the peritubular capillary plexus through which metastatic cancer cells eventually invade the peritubular interstitium.
Businesses like Tom's Coney Island restaurant were largely spared the worst of the flooding because of their location on the elevated Boardwalk.
