Molecular motor KIF3B in the prelimbic cortex constrains the consolidation of contextual fear memory

Abstract Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the role of the prelimbic cortex in contextual fear memory remain elusive. Here we examined the kinesin family of molecular motor proteins (KIFs) in the prelimbic cortex for their role in mediating contextual fear, a form of associative memory. K...
