ICSS increased bilaterally c-Fos in gRSC and aRSC at all layers.
TWAA acquisition and retention increased c-Fos widely in gRSC and aRSC.
ICSS potentiates the c-Fos induction across TWAA conditions in V layer of the gRSC.
Increased protein Arc after ICSS in ipsilateral gRSC is shown for the first time.
We suggest that gRSG could be involved in the positive modulatory effects of ICSS on memory consolidation.
