A variety of reconsolidation boundary conditions exist for the destabilization of memory, including memory strength, prediction error, trace dominance, and memory age. The vast majority of studies examining boundary conditions have employed aversive tasks. The current study expands the literature on reconsolidation boundary conditions by employing...
Reconsolidation theory has supported the notion that active memory is vulnerable to the effects of an amnesic agent. An extension of reconsolidation theory posits that active memory, while necessary for creating vulnerability in memory, is not sufficient. Prediction error (i.e., when expectation is inconsistent with reality) may be a key factor in...
A considerable literature has shown deficits in memory resulting from the administration of protein synthesis inhibitors; however, most of the past literature in this field has focused on acquisition of new memory using aversively-motivated tasks. The effect of protein synthesis inhibition on appetitive learning and memory as well as extinction is...

The effect of a beta-blocker (propranolol hydrochloride) on memory was examined in an animal model of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Adult male, Long-Evans rats were exposed to a predator (canine familiaris) for 10 minutes (n=16) or placed in the same room with no predator present (n=4). During the exposure trial, each rat was placed in a n...
The present experiment examined the effects of pretraining and reminder treatments on the retention of a nonrelational odor-guided digging task following lesions to the hippocampal formation (i.e., fornix) or parahippocampal region (i.e., perirhinal and entorhinal cortices). The results showed that fornix-lesioned rats and control rats had good ret...
