Although protein synthesis inhibitors often impair memory across species and tasks, it is also the case, as noted by routtenberg and rekart 2005, that intact memories are sometimes formed even in the presence of extensive inhibition of protein synthesis. Evidence from in vitro experiments indicates that transport across the cell wall can be enhanced by cellwall inhibitors such as penicillin or vancomycin, resulting in a synergistic effect with aminoglycosides.
