Persistent traces of drug reward memories contribute to intense craving and often trigger
relapse. A number of pharmacological interventions on drug-associated memories have …

Background The reconsolidation blocker propranolol abolishes alcohol and drug-seeking
behavior in rodents and attenuates conditioned emotional responses to drug-cues in …

Drug-seeking behavior is maintained by encounters with drug-associated cues. Preventing
retrieval of drug-associated memories that these cues provoke would therefore limit relapse …

Drug addiction is an aberrant memory that shares the same memory processes as other
memories. Brief exposure to drug‐associated cues could result in reconsolidation, a …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE: The reactivation of a consolidated memory can return it to a
labile state, a process referred to as reconsolidation. A previous study showed that oral …

Retrieval of drug-associated memories is critical for maintaining addictive behaviors, as
presentation of drug-associated cues can elicit drug seeking and relapse. Recently, we and …

According to memory reconsolidation theory, when long-term memory is reactivated by
relevant clues, the memory traces become labile, which can be altered by pharmacological …

The reconsolidation hypothesis posits that established emotional memories, when
reactivated, become labile and susceptible to disruption. Post-retrieval injection of …

Disrupting reconsolidation of drug-related memories may be effective in reducing the
incidence of relapse. In the current study we examine whether alcohol-related memories are …

Background Drug memories become labile and reconsolidated after retrieval by
presentation of environmental cues (conditioned stimulus) or drugs (unconditioned …
