Abstrakt: The persistence of memories reflects a dynamic, rather than a stable, process. The reactivation of a previously learned memory, for example by re-exposure to a conditioned stimulus, renders it labile, such that the concomitant administration of a variety of amnestic agents results in a reduced ability subsequently to retrieve that memory. This reactivation-dependent amnesia suggests that memoriesmay undergo cycles of reactivation followed by a process of what has been called "reconsolidation". This review will discuss several of the central features of memory reconsolidation, taking a translational view of the potential of disrupting reconsolidation as a treatment strategy for maladaptive memory disorders such as post-traumatic stress and drug addiction.
