Recognition of novel objects and their location in rats with selective cholinergic lesion of the medial septum

► Effect of medial septal cholinergic lesion on object and location recognition. ► Selective cholinergic lesion of medial septum did not impair object recognition. ► Selective cholinergic lesion of medial septum impaired object location recognition. ► Septal cholinergic neurons are important for location but not object recognition.
