Chemical inhibition of ___ will result in a loss of retention for a conditioned response.
A)ampakine
B)CaMKII
C)elastin
D)protein kinase M zeta

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein kinase M zeta (PKMζ) is involved in the maintenance and long-term storage of memory, including the retention of a conditioned response. Chemical inhibition of PKMζ has been shown to result in a loss of retention for a conditioned response. Ampakine and CaMKII are also involved in various aspects of memory formation, but they do not specifically affect retention of a conditioned response. Elastin is a protein found in connective tissue and is not related to memory or learning.
