A Computational Model of Systems Memory Reconsolidation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Memory reconsolidation, the re-stabilization of consolidated memories after reactivation-induced destabilization, has received considerable attention in recent years. Nevertheless, the neural processes underlying the phenomenon remain elusive. With the aim of contributing to the development of a theory in this area, we here present a computational model of reconsolidation at the “systems” level. The model is an extension of TraceLink, which has previously been used to account for a range of memory phenomena related to consolidation.

Propranolol–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 کاملA Computational Model of Systems Memory Reconsolidation and Extinction
In the mammalian brain newly acquired memories are dependent on the hippocampus for maintenance and recall, but over time these functions are taken over by the neocortex through a process called memory consolidation. Thus, whereas recent memories are likely to be disrupted in the event of hippocampal damage, older memories are less vulnerable. However, if a consolidated memory is reactivated by...
متن کاملGlucocorticoids Interact with Cholinergic System in Impairing Memory Reconsolidation of an Inhibitory Avoidance Task in Mice
Introduction: Recent studies suggest that glucocorticoids modulate memory reconsolidation. Moreover, cholinergic system is involved in memory reconsolidation. Since glucocorticoids interact with brain cholinergic system in modulating memory processing, we investigated whether glucocorticoid influences on the reconsolidation of emotionally arousing training depend on the cholinergic system...

Introduction: Rrecent studies indicated that serotonergic receptors can be mediate the glucocorticoids’ effects on behavioral procesess. The aim of this study was to determine the role of serotonergic receptor (5-HT6) in the effects of acute stress and corticosterone on fear memory reconsolidation in mice. Materials and Methods: Male adult mice were trained and tested in an inhibitory avoidance...
