The processes of memory formation and storage are complex and highly dynamic. Once
memories are consolidated, they are not necessarily fixed but can be changed long after�…

The retrieval of a memory places it into a plastic state, the result of which is that the memory
can be disrupted or even enhanced by experimental treatment. This phenomenon has been�…

Behavioral neuroscience has greatly informed how we understand the formation,
persistence, and plasticity of memory. Research has demonstrated that memory reactivation�…

Memory consolidation refers to a slow process that stabilises a memory trace after initial
acquisition of novel events. The consolidation theory posits that once a memory is stored in�…

The formation of long-term memories is a function necessary for an adaptive survival. In the
last two decades, great progress has been made in the understanding of the biological�…

It is becoming increasingly clear that the processes of memory formation and storage are
exquisitely dynamic. Elucidating the nature and temporal evolution of the biological changes�…

Memory reconsolidation is the process in which reactivated long-term memory (LTM)
becomes transiently sensitive to amnesic agents that are effective at consolidation. The�…

Recent research suggests that the mere act of retrieving a memory can temporarily make
that memory vulnerable to disruption. This process of “reconsolidation” will typically�…

Memory reconsolidation has been argued to be a distinct process that serves to maintain,
strengthen or modify memories. Specifically, the retrieval of a previously consolidated�…

The reconsolidation hypothesis states that memories, when reactivated, enter a transient,
labile state followed by a re-stabilization termed reconsolidation. By affecting the�…
