The reactivation of a stored memory in the brain can make the memory transiently labile.
During the time it takes for the memory to restabilize (reconsolidate) the memory can either …

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 …

The ability to make predictions based on stored information is a general coding strategy. A
Prediction-Error (PE) is a mismatch between expected and current events. It was proposed …

Experimental research on emotional memory reconsolidation interference, or the induction
of amnesia for previously established emotional memory, has a long tradition, but the …

Pioneering research over the past two decades has shown that memories are far more
malleable than we once thought, thereby highlighting the potential for new clinical avenues …

Although disrupting reconsolidation is promising in targeting emotional memories, the
conditions under which memory becomes labile are still unclear. The current study showed …

A new understanding of the mechanisms of memory retrieval and reconsolidation holds the
potential for improving exposure-based treatments. Basic research indicates that following …

Fear memory is a motivational system essential for organisms survival having a central role
in organization of defensive behaviors to threat. In the last years there has been a growing …

Memory consolidation involves transcriptional control of genes in neurons to stabilize a
newly formed memory. Following retrieval, a once consolidated memory destabilizes and …

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