Memory consolidation is a term used to describe the process of memory stabilization from labile, easily disrupted state into disruption-resistant long-term form. Protein synthesis inhibitors injected before or immediately after learning episode, produce significant amnesia. However in a limited number of studies the possibility of memory recovery after such pharmacologically-produced amnesia was shown. The aim of present study was to investigate the possibility of memory recovery in single-session fear conditioning paradigm in mice. Mice were injected with protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide twenty minutes prior learning to induce amnesia. Twenty four hours after training mice were subjected to reminder shock, similar to one used during training. Amnestic animals have demonstrated complete recovery of cued fear memory to the level of normal animals when tested 24h after reminder presentation. Thus our data indicate that specific type of memory might be restored using nonspecific stimulus as a reminder. Possible mechanisms of memory reparation after PSI injection during learning are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007858 Learning Relatively permanent change in behavior that is the result of past experience or practice. The concept includes the acquisition of knowledge. Phenomenography
D008568 Memory Complex mental function having four distinct phases: (1) memorizing or learning, (2) retention, (3) recall, and (4) recognition. Clinically, it is usually subdivided into immediate, recent, and remote memory.
D011500 Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins.

D000647 Amnesia Pathologic partial or complete loss of the ability to recall past experiences (AMNESIA, RETROGRADE) or to form new memories (AMNESIA, ANTEROGRADE). This condition may be of organic or psychologic origin. Organic forms of amnesia are usually associated with dysfunction of the DIENCEPHALON or HIPPOCAMPUS.
