Experiment 3. (A) Design. (B) Conditioned freezing behavior during test and retest, by group. Rats that received reactivation through exposure to the initial training context and given MDZ showed a generalized memory impairment when tested in novel context B (AAB-MDZ). A similar memory deficit was observed in animals that received reactivation through exposure to context B prior to MDZ administration and were then tested in B (ABB-MDZ). However, when after memory reactivation using B, rats were re-exposed to the originally trained context (ABA groups), no MDZ-induced amnesia was found. Data are expressed as means, symbols represent individual data points.
