Intrahippocampal heparinase 1 injection impairs context discrimination in CFC. (a) Experimental design of CFC with injection of either active heparinase (heparinase) or heat-inactivated heparinase (control) 24 h before CFC. (b) The group of mice injected with heparinase showed normal level of freezing in a neutral context (CC−) before CFC on d0, and in the conditioned context (CC+) after CFC on d1 and d3. However, they were unable to discriminate the conditioned context (CC+, solid bars) from the unconditioned, neutral one (CC−, empty bars). (c) The discrimination ratio (%) of freezing in the 2 different contexts (at the left panel) after control/heparinase injection confirms the inability of mice to discriminate 2 different but similar contexts after HSs were removed by heparinase injection into the dorsal hippocampus.
