Neural mechanisms of reactivation-induced updating that enhance and distort memory
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Reactivation is a key process that updates memory by strengthening existing memories and incorporating relevant new information, thus supporting the dynamic and flexible nature of memory. This adaptive function, however, can sometimes contribute to memory distortions. The current study examines how neural mechanisms that operate during reactivation of memories for a museum tour contribute to enhancement of existing memories, while also supporting integration of novel information that can contribute to false memories. Our results reveal similarities and differences in the neural mechanisms of reactivation associated with subsequent true and false memories for real-world events, thereby illuminating how memories change over time as a consequence of reactivation—a process that has important implications for understanding the unreliability of eyewitness memories.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Memory reactivation during fMRI both strengthened later true memories for a museum tour and increased later false memories for novel lure photographs from an alternate tour. The quality of reactivation, indexed by subjective reliving, modulated subsequent true and false memories via partly shared and partly distinct neural recruitment.
Key findings
- Reactivation increased subsequent hits [t(32) = 6.05, P < 0.0001] and subsequent false alarms [t(32) = 6.67, P < 0.0001] compared with baseline items not shown during scanning.
- Higher reliving ratings predicted subsequent hits versus misses [t(32) = 13.68, P < 0.0001] and subsequent false alarms versus correct rejections [t(32) = 3.96, P = 0.0003]; trial-by-trial correlations were r = 0.34, P < 0.0001 for true memories and r = 0.09, P = 0.0004 for false memories.
- Subsequent true and false memory effects both recruited left posterior parahippocampal, bilateral retrosplenial, and bilateral posterior inferior parietal cortices. For true memories, these regions showed greater recruitment during target than lure phases; for false memories, recruitment was equal across target and lure phases.
- Subsequent hits were associated with greater rostral medial PFC and posterior cingulate recruitment during target versus lure phases for highly relived memories, whereas subsequent false alarms were associated with greater vmPFC, ventrolateral PFC, lateral temporal cortex, and right anterior hippocampus recruitment during target versus lure phases.
Methods
- Thirty-five participants (18–30 y old, 19 women) completed three sessions separated by 48 h: a self-guided museum tour with a camera taking photographs every 15 s, an fMRI scanning session, and a recognition-memory test. Two participants were excluded for computer issues, and seven additional participants were excluded from fMRI analysis only for quality-control issues.
- During scanning, participants viewed target photographs from their own tour to reactivate memories, rated reliving, and on full trials then viewed a novel lure photograph from an alternate tour and rated relatedness. Later, they made old/new recognition judgments for reactivated targets and lures and baseline targets and lures.
- fMRI data were acquired on a 3T scanner and analyzed in SPM8 using a general linear model, a compound-trial approach to separate target and lure phases, subsequent memory contrasts (hits minus misses; false alarms minus correct rejections), and parametric modulation by reliving ratings. Reported analyses used a threshold of P < 0.001, uncorrected, with a cluster size of 10 voxels.
Limitations
- The paper states that reactivation quality was defined according to subjective recollection, so the findings could also reflect the contribution of memory strength during reactivation.
- The paper states that it remains an open question whether all varieties of memory distortion can be conceived as costs associated with adaptive features of memory.
- Evident from the text: fMRI results are reported at an uncorrected threshold of P < 0.001 with a 10-voxel cluster cutoff, and the final fMRI sample was reduced by exclusions, which may limit statistical robustness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
