We rely on our long-term memories to guide future behaviors, making it adaptive to prioritize
the retention of goal-relevant, salient information in memory. In this review, we discuss …

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

Understanding the dynamics of memory change is one of the current challenges facing
cognitive neuroscience. Recent animal work on memory reconsolidation shows that …

Consolidated memories can re-enter states of transient instability following reactivation, from
which they must again stabilize in order to persist, contradicting the previously dominant …

Memory reconsolidation has been observed across species and in a number of behavioral
paradigms. The majority of memory reconsolidation studies have been carried out in …

Sequence learning can be differentiated according to phases (rapid and slower), modalities
(perceptual and motor), and whether or not it is conscious (implicit and explicit). Implicit …

Memory formation enables the retention of life experiences overtime. Based on previously
acquired information, organisms can anticipate future events and adjust their behaviors to …

Memories are not static imprints of past experience, but rather are dynamic entities which
enable us to predict outcomes of future situations and inform appropriate behaviours. In …

How an animal learns, remembers, and uses information to guide adaptive behavior
remains one of the most challenging questions in science today. Much progress was made …

Reward motivation has been shown to modulate episodic memory processes in order to
support future adaptive behavior. However, for a memory system to be truly adaptive, it …
