FIGURE 2.
Pre-training and post-training freezing. During habituation to the foot-shock context prior to training (A), all groups exhibited negligible freezing behavior. 24 h after TFC, animals were tested for freezing to tone in a novel context (B) and freezing in the foot-shock context without tone (C). Both the TFC and TFC-Iso groups showed significantly higher levels of freezing to the tone compared with the Iso-TFC group (B); while only the TFC group showed significantly higher levels of freezing to context compared with the Iso-TFC group (C). These results show that animals anesthetized during training demonstrated anterograde amnesia for TFC, while animals anesthetized immediately after training showed no retrograde amnesia. ∗Statistical significance vs. TFC, #statistical significance vs. TFC-Iso.
