Among other findings, demonstrates that post-training disruption of NMDA receptors in the amygdala produces a dose- and time-dependent amnesia for one-trial avoidance learning. The findings indicate that NMDA receptors in the amygdala are important for the acquisition, but not retention, of this task.
