I n “Problems Applying Neuroscientific Research to the Clinical Setting,” Richard Tuch challenges the idea that neuroscientific findings on memory reconsolidation, the process by which memories can become fragile upon retrieval (Alberini 2011; Nader and Einarsson 2010), might be useful or even correctly interpreted in psychoanalysis and, in general, in the context of psychotherapeutic applications. He expresses “concern about a tendency to accept neuroscientific findings without rigorously…

A behavioral design is described in which a fear memory in rats is destabilized and reinterpreted as safe by presenting an isolated retrieval trial before an extinction session, which permanently attenuates the fear memory without the use of drugs.

Recent advances in consolidation research, including the reconsolidation of long-term memory items, the brain mechanisms of transformation of the content and of cue-dependency of memory items over time, as well as the role of rest and sleep in consolidating and shaping memories are focused on.
