Activity dependent protein degradation is critical for the formation and stability of fear memory in the amygdala.
Protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system [UPS] plays a critical role in some forms of synaptic plasticity.However, its role in memory formation in the amygdala, a site critical for the formation of fear memories, currently remains unknown.Here we provide the first evidence that protein degradation through the UPS is critically en
