On the boundary conditions of avoidance memory reconsolidation - an attractor network perspective
New paper
The treatment of fear-related disorders depends on understanding the neural circuits involved in the reconsolidation of aversive memories. Both the consolidation and retrieval of a memory, represented by a cell assembly called engram, are characteristics of an attractor network, observed in several brain regions, such as the amygdala, hippocampus and...
