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 …

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 …

Retrieving a memory can modify its influence on subsequent behavior. We develop a
computational theory of memory modification, according to which modification of a memory …

In addition to the extensive evidence in animals, we previously showed that disrupting
reconsolidation by noradrenergic blockade produced amnesia for the original fear response …

Introduction Studies of drug enhancement of cognition began with Lashley's (Psychobiology
1: 141–170, 1917) report that strychnine administered before daily training trials enhanced …

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a central regulator of protein synthesis in neurons,
has been implicated in synaptic plasticity and memory. Here we show that mTOR inhibition …

Re-exposure to elements of prior experiences can create opportunities for inducing amnesia
for those events. The dominant theoretical framework posits that such re-exposure can result …

Contextual stimulus control over instrumental drug-seeking behavior relies on the
reconsolidation of context-response-drug associative memories into long-term memory …

Drug addiction is a chronic disorder associated with recurrent craving and relapse often
precipitated by the presence of drug-associated stimuli. Pharmacological and behavioral …

Exposure to a cocaine‐paired context increases the propensity for relapse in cocaine users
and prompts cocaine‐seeking behavior in rats. According to the reconsolidation hypothesis …
