An experimental group of rats is injected IP (intraperitoneally) with a drug that potently blocks mRNA transcription. A control group of rats was injected with saline IP.  The same day as the treatments, the rats were trained on a water maze memory task. Compared to the controls, the drug-treated animals performed the same on the maze task when tested later the same day, but performed poorly compared to controls when tested the following day. Explain these results in terms of what you know about synaptic plasticity. (NOTE: the drug is able to freely pass into the brain from the circulation]
