Retrieval of retrained and reconsolidated memories are associated with a distinct neural network

Consolidated memories can persist from a single day to years, and persistence is improved by retraining or retrieval-mediated plasticity. One retrieval-based way to strengthen memory is the reconsolidation process. Strengthening occurs simply by the presentation of specific cues associated with the...

description Consolidated memories can persist from a single day to years, and persistence is improved by retraining or retrieval-mediated plasticity. One retrieval-based way to strengthen memory is the reconsolidation process. Strengthening occurs simply by the presentation of specific cues associated with the original learning. This enhancement function has a fundamental role in the maintenance of memory relevance in animals everyday life. In the present study, we made a step forward in the identification of brain correlates imprinted by the reconsolidation process studying the long-term neural consequences when the strengthened memory is stable again. To reach such a goal, we compared the retention of paired-associate memories that went through retraining process or were labilizated-reconsolidated. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we studied the specific areas activated during retrieval and analyzed the functional connectivity of the whole brain associated with the event-related design. We used Graph Theory tools to analyze the global features of the network. We show that reconsolidated memories imprint a more locally efficient network that is better at exchanging information, compared with memories that were retrained or untreated. For the first time, we report a method to elucidate the neural footprints associated with a relevant function of memory reconsolidation. © 2019, The Author(s).
