Extinction-Reconsolidation Boundaries: Key to Persistent Attenuation of Fear Memories

Open access

Abstract

Reversing Pavlov: Memories of fearful associations, such as hearing a tone before receiving a low-voltage shock, are labile when they are retrieved, such that the association can be extinguished or reconsolidated. Monfils et al. (p. 951 , published online 2 April) demonstrate that applying a standard extinction treatment (sounding the tone multiple times in the absence of any shocks) within a window of time during which reconsolidation would normally occur has the effect of overwriting the original memory. Rats treated in this fashion display much lower levels of renewal (fear induced by sounding the tone once by itself), reinstatement (fear induced by giving the shock once by itself), and spontaneous recovery.

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.

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.
