Figure 5. Memory impaired rats display reductions in pRpt6 within the basolateral amygdala.
When 15- and 22-mo old rats were classified as impaired or unimpaired, not only did impaired animals display significantly less freezing during the SFP period of memory retrieval testing, but they also display significant reductions in pRpt6 in the BLA, but not in the mPFC or DH. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * denotes p < 0.05 in a Student’s t-test.
