Knockdown of zif268 in the posterior dorsolateral striatum does not enduringly disrupt a response memory of a rewarded T-maze task.

•Zif268 expression in the pDLS is not required for retrieval of habit-like memory.•Knockdown of pDLS Zif268 expression reduces habit-like memory restabilization.•Zif268 expression increased in the BLA after reward memory retrieval.•Despite extended T-Maze training rats did not use a S-R strategy.
