Reconsolidation of a Long-Term Memory in Lymnaea Requires New Protein and RNA Synthesis and the Soma of Right Pedal Dorsal 1

Reconsolidation of a long-term memory (LTM) in the snail Lymnaea
stagnalis can be disrupted by cooling, an RNA synthesis blocker
(actinomycin D), and by specifically ablating the soma of a cell we know is a
site of LTM consolidation (right pedal dorsal 1, RPeD1). Aerial respiratory
behavior was conditioned operantly by applying a gentle tactile stimulus to
the pneumostome area (the respiratory orifice) every time the snail began to
open its pneumostome to perform aerial respiration. This resulted in a
reduction of this behavior while leaving cutaneous respiration intact. One
week after training one-half of the animals received a memory reactivation
session, which was similar to the original training (i.e., animals received
reinforcement). All animals then received 1 hr of cooling, an injection of
actinomycin D or saline, or the soma ablation procedure. This was followed by
a test for savings 4 hr or 4 d later, which was also similar to the original
training. Only those animals that received both the memory reactivation
session and the treatment showed memory impairment during the test for
savings. That is, the impairment was contingent on memory reactivation. These
data indicate that reconsolidation requires both new RNA and protein synthesis
to stabilize a reactivated memory, and it demonstrates that the soma of RPeD1,
a cell that we have shown previously to be required in the consolidation of an
LTM, is necessary for reconsolidation. These data suggest that the critical
molecular processes occurring during both consolidation and reconsolidation
transpire in the same cell in Lymnaea.
