TL;DR: The pattern of impairments across delay and trace conditioning suggest that alcohol disrupts processes that are common to both tasks, consistent with studies of Delay and trace eyeblink conditioning in children with FASD.

TL;DR: It was found that if protein kinase C was activated before the conditioning paradigm, snails could still acquire STM despite exposure to the cold-block, and no long lasting effects of thecold-block on subsequent memory formation.
Abstract: The present study investigated the optimal training procedure leading to long-lasting taste avoidance behavior in Lymnaea. A training procedure comprising 5 repeated pairings of a conditional stimulus (CS, sucrose), with an unconditional stimulus (US, a tactile stimulation to the animal’s head), over a 4-day period resulted in an enhanced memory formation than 10 CS-US repeated pairings over a 2-day period or 20 CS-US repeated pairings on a single day. Backward conditioning (US-CS) pairings did not result in conditioning. Thus, this taste avoidance conditioning was CS-US pairing specific. Food avoidance behavior was not observed following training, however, if snails were immediately subjected to a cold-block (4°C for 10 min). It was critical that the cold-block be applied within 10 min to block long-term memory (LTM) formation. Further, exposure to the cold-block 180 min after training also blocked both STM and LTM formation. The effects of the cold-block on subsequent learning and memory formation were also examined. We found no long lasting effects of the cold-block on subsequent memory formation. If protein kinase C was activated before the conditioning paradigm, snails could still acquire STM despite exposure to the cold-block.

TL;DR: Intravenous BU divided four times daily (q6 h) has been shown to be safe and effective in pediatric allo-SCT recipients and is a feasible, attractive alternative to i.v. q6h dosing.
