In this chapter, we summarize research on the role of the amygdala in defense learning and memory and then discuss memory reconsolidation in the amygdala and its theoretical and clinical implications.
Unlike fear memories that are thought to have a localized representation in the amygdala, ... a network of cortical regions whose binding relies on the hippocampus (for reviews, see Davachi (2006) and Dickerson and Eichenbaum (2010)).

Memory traces can become labile when retrieved.
This chapter highlights the connections between research on memory reconsolidation and central ideas in memory research, considering the substantial body of work produced within the neurosciences as well as cognitive psychology–two fields ...
Two popular methods to reduce fear in animals are extinction, in which the animal is repeatedly exposed to the fear-inducing stimulus in the absence of any negative outcome, and reconsolidation blockade/update, in which the fear memory is ...
Research on reconsolidation has demonstrated that consolidated memories may again enter states of transient instability following reactivation from which they must restabilize in order to persist, contradicting the previously dominant view ...
This book provides a comprehensive overview of research on memory reconsolidation; what this has to say about the formation, storage, and changeability of memory; and the potential applications of this research to treating clinical ...
Specifically, the novel material leads to interference in the original memories. This chapter reviews research on episodic memory reconsolidation that uses this approach in an object-learning paradigm.
This chapter reviews the regulation and mechanisms of reconsolidation and extinction and the current understanding of the relationship between the two.
Memories represent a means through which we bring to bear past experience on current processing in order to respond adaptively and predict the future.
Our research demonstrates the existence of the reconsolidation process for declarative memory, characterizes its boundary conditions, and studies its functions.
Comparative studies in humans on the nature of the reminder for reconsolidation are described in another chapter of this book.
Moreover, compared to placebo, propranolol before memory reconsolidation reduced subsequent recall for negatively valenced emotional words, as well as the expression of cue-elicited fear responses, g = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.16–1.01.
