In the sham-lesion procedure, stereotaxic surgery is used to place an electrode or
cannula into brain without passing damaging current or making a microinjection. Comparison of the lesion group with that of the sham-lesion group allows for the determination of the lesion effect apart from that of the anesthesia/surgical procedure.
