Q

Consolidation happens immediately after LTM storage. T/F?

A

False. Muller and Pilzekcer 1900! Delaying testing by 6min resulted in a 20% performance improvement over no delay.

Q

Injecting a drug that inhibits synaptic changes to the Basal Lateral Amygdala prior to trying to elicit a conditioned fear response resulted in
