Protein kinase C mediates memory consolidation of taste avoidance conditioning in Lymnaea stagnalis.

Highlights: [•] The critical role of PKC activation for memory enhancement was examined. [•] Twenty paired CS–US presentations resulted in STM and LTM. [•] Pre-exposure to PKC activator formed STM with 5 paired CS–US presentations. [•] Pre-incubation with PKC activator facilitated STM into LTM. [•] Pre-incubation with PKC inhibitor failed to form both STM and LTM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
