NMDA receptor antagonism with MK-801 impairs consolidation and reconsolidation of passive avoidance conditioning in adolescent rats: Evidence for a state dependent reconsolidation effect

► We examine memory consolidation, reconsolidation, and state dependency in adolescent rats. ► Post-training NMDA antagonism with MK-801 disrupted both consolidation and reconsolidation. ► Disruption of reconsolidation was shown to be state dependent using a modified state dependent retention paradigm.
