oh and my thesis was examining protein expression in dorsal vs ventral hippocampus (amygdala and parietal cortex as controls) in both trace and delay conditioning models. Basically I was trying to show a protein expression difference in these two brain areas as my lab had proven it behaviorally through using excitotixc lesions and then through temporary inactivation using musicmol directly infused into these sites

Yeah, this is super interesting work! Thanks for sharing, i've already started a string of open tabs combing through your references. I am very interested in memory and spent a lot of time reading eletro-physiology papers last year, so I love to see a good hippocampus paper!!
