Figure 1From: The participation of NMDA receptors, PKC, and MAPK in the formation of memory following operant conditioning in LymnaeaSaline and vehicle injected snails exhibit ITM and LTM. A) Snails injected with saline 1 h prior to a 30 min training session (TS) exhibit intermediate-term memory (ITM) when given a memory test (MT) at 3 h (30' TS vs. 3 h MT, p < 0.01, n = 12). B) Snails injected with saline 1 h prior to a 60 min training session (TS) exhibit long-term memory (LTM) when tested for memory (MT) 24 h later. LTM formation was not inhibited by saline injection (60' TS vs. 24 h MT p < 0.001, n = 12). C) Vehicle injection had no effect on the ability to form ITM (30'TS vs. 3 h MT p < 0.001, n = 12). D) LTM formation was not inhibited by vehicle injection (60' TS vs. 24 h MT p < 0.001, n = 12). ** p < 0.01.Back to article page
