From: Behavioural memory reconsolidation of food and fear memories
Discriminated responding on the active (open symbols) and inactive (filled symbols) levers was compared across experimental conditions. (a) Extinction (E) alone, without prior memory reactivation (N=7). (b) Reactivation (R) followed, 1 h later, by extinction (N=7). (c) Reactivation followed, 6 h later, by extinction (N=8). (d) Context exposure (CX) followed, 1 h later, by extinction (N=12). (e) Exposure to modified (Mod) context followed, 1 h later, by extinction (N=7). (f) Pre-training context habituation (pre-ex), with post-training context exposure followed, 1 h later, by extinction (N=7). Groups b, d & e differed significantly from the control group a. Groups c & f did not differ from group a. Data presented as mean±s.e.m.
