Post-training Activation of Rac1 in the Basolateral Amygdala Is Required for the Formation of both Short-term and Long-term Auditory Fear Memory

Rac1, a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, is crucial for morphological changes of the mature neuronal synapse including spine formation and activity-dependent spine enlargement, while its role in the formation of associated memories, such as conditioned fear memory, is not clear. Here we re...
