Schematic design of the water-deprivation protocol. The experimental group was water deprived for 18 h prior to the memory reactivation session (the water remained available for >6 h after reactivation). Animals were not water deprived at test 1 (and for 6 h after it). However, test 2 was done in animals again under an 18-h water-deprived state. In these experiments, the control group was never water deprived.
