Reconsolidation of Symptom-Generating Implicit Memory in Psychotherapy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The existence of reconsolidation appears to imply that the brain’s built-in neurodynamics allow for profound change in emotional learnings formed early in life. This would have potentially revolutionary implications for psychotherapy. However, no methodology for the clinical, endogenous recruitment of reconsolidation has yet been put forward by neuroscientists, which may be why the discovery of reconsolidation remains uncommunicated to working psychotherapists and virtually unknown to them.

Use of Memory Reconsolidation in Psychotherapy and Suggestions for a Brain Imaging Study
The recent discovery by brain scientists of the reconsolidation of memory circuits (see research bibliography below) overturned the almost century-old tenet that emotional learnings and acquired responses maintained in long-term implicit memory are indelible—unerasable and permanent for the lifetime of the individual. Reconsolidation, induced endogenously through behavioral procedures, has been...
متن کاملMemory reconsolidation, emotional arousal, and the process of change in psychotherapy: New insights from brain science.
Since Freud, clinicians have understood that disturbing memories contribute to psychopathology and that new emotional experiences contribute to therapeutic change. Yet, controversy remains about what is truly essential to bring about psychotherapeutic change. Mounting evidence from empirical studies suggests that emotional arousal is a key ingredient in therapeutic change in many modalities. In...
متن کاملPropranolol–induced Impairment of Contextual Fear Memory Reconsolidation in Rats: A Similar Effect on Weak and Strong Recent and Remote Memories
Introduction: Previous studies have demonstrated that the &beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol impairs fear memory reconsolidation in experimental animals. There are experimental parameters such as the age and the strength of memory that can interact with pharmacological manipulations of memory reconsolidation. In this study, we investigated the ability of the age and the strength o...
متن کاملEffects of Mineralocorticoid Receptors Blockade on FearMemory Reconsolidation in Rats
Reconsolidation memory is defined as a process in which the retrieval of a previously consolidated memory returns to a labile state which is then subject to stabilization. Previous studies have shown that mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) modulate distinct phases of learning and memory, which display a high concentration and distinct distribution in the hippocampus. Moreover, we found no studie...
متن کاملAffective psychotherapy in post-traumatic reactions guided by affective neuroscience: memory reconsolidation and play
This paper reviews the affective neuroscience dealing with the effects of traumatic events. We give an overview of the normal fear reactions, the pathological fear reaction, and the character of emotional episodic memories. We find that both emotions and emotional memories are a tripartite unit of sensory information, autonomic reaction, and motor impulse (the PRM complex). We propose that emot...
