Abstract
⺠Rats form recognition memories for social and non-social odors in one trial. ⺠Complete hippocampal lesions do not affect odor recognition memory. ⺠Perirhinal cortex lesions impair social but not non-social odor recognition memory. ⺠Perirhinal cortex lesions do not impair the perception of social odors. ⺠Perirhinal cortex may serve memory for social odors because of overlapping features.
