What did Lashley's rat lesion experiments in the 1920s suggest?
- Temporal lobe is the primary memory storage site
- All cortical areas contribute equally to memory (equipotential) (correct)
- Memory deficits are directly related to the location of the lesion
- Memory is solely dependent on the hippocampal system
