  Fear memories require protein synthesis in the amygdala for reconsolidation after retrieval: Nature
This effect of anisomycin requires that the memory be actively retrieved, as omission of the CS before anisomycin infusion in test 1 led to normal conditioned fear responses in test 2 (Fig.
The fact that anisomycin infusions after reactivation of the fear memory produced amnesia for the original learning indicates that reactivation of a consolidation fear memory may place it in a labile state, one that has to be reconsolidated by protein synthesis to remain usable to the organism in future situations.
Anisomycin (Sigma) was dissolved in equimolar HCl, diluted with ACSF and adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH.

 Anisomycin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anisomycin, also known as Flagecidin (IUPAC name: 3,4-Pyrrolidinediol, 2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-, 3-acetate, (2R,3S,4S)-) is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces griseolus which inhibits protein synthesis.
Anisomycin interferes with protein and DNA synthesis by inhibiting peptidyl transferase or the 80S ribosome system.

 Chemical Biology: Uncaging an antibiotic - Cell Signaling Update - Signaling Gateway
Regulation of protein synthesis is important in many biological processes, but it is difficult to study because of a lack of methodologies to interfere selectively with protein synthesis with temporal and spatial precision.
To address this problem, a team of researchers led by Timothy Dore at the University of Georgia and Erin Schuman at the California Institute of Technology used a caged version of the antibiotic anisomycin, an inhibitor of protein synthesis that blocks the peptide bond–forming reaction in eukaryotic ribosomes.
In cells expressing a green fluorescent protein reporter, the maximum decrease in fluorescence was within 100 µm of the center of the uncaging spot, whereas cells outside of the uncaging spot had constant fluorescence or a slight increase as more reporter was synthesized over the course of the experiment.

 Memories are harder to forget than currently thought
Previous studies in rodents had shown that the process of encoding a memory could be blocked by the use of a protein synthesis inhibitor called anisomycin.
Experiments with anisomycin helped lead to the acceptance of a theory in which a learned behavior is consolidated into a stored form and that then enters a 'labile' — or adaptable — state when it is recalled.
Indeed, experiments showed that anisomycin could make a mouse forget a memory if it were given anisomycin directly after remembering an event.

Control studies confirmed that intrahippocampal infusions of anisomycin inhibited protein synthesis locally and that the spatial training protocols we used are subject to overnight protein synthesis-dependent consolidation.
We then compared the impact of anisomycin in two conditions: when memory retrieval occurred in a reference memory task after performance had reached asymptote over several days; and after a comparable extent of training of a delayed matching-to-place task in which new memory encoding was required each day.
Sensitivity to intrahippocampal anisomycin was observed only in the protocol involving new memory encoding at the time of retrieval.
