    Figure 1

    (Color online) Current theory of memory formation and reconsolidation-based intervention. After encoding, memories undergo an initial unstable phase for a limited time, before stabilized through the consolidation phase. Consolidated memories may return to a labile state when they are retrieved or reactivated by a reminder, thus requiring the so-called reconsolidation. During the time-limited reconsolidation window, memories can be degraded, strengthened or updated by the inclusion of new information. Memories can be modified through behavioral means (e.g, interference, extinction), pharmacological agents (e.g, propranolol), or noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques. Modified from [5,6].
