Interference Conditions of the Reconsolidation Process in Humans: The Role of Valence and Different Memory Systems
TL;DR: It is shown that the reconsolidation of a neutral declarative memory is unaffected by the acquisition of an aversive implicit memory and conversely, this memory remains intact when the neutral declarate memory is used as interference.
Contrasting dynamics of memory consolidation for novel word forms and meanings revealed by behavioral and neurophysiological markers.
Laura Kaczer,Laura Kaczer,Luz Bavassi,Agustin Petroni,Rodrigo S. Fernández,Julieta Laurino,Sofía Degiorgi,Eithan Hochman,Cecilia Forcato,Maria Eugenia Pedreira +9 more
TL;DR: The temporal profile of two key cognitive markers of memory consolidation in the domain of word learning are addressed: i) the susceptibility of recently learned novel words to memory interference; ii) their lexical integration using a semantic judgment task while recording the ERPs responses.

Distinct morphological processing of recently learned compound words: An ERP study.
TL;DR: The results suggest that participants focused more on the separate constituents when reading novel primes than in the case of existing compounds, which is expressed in a marked reduction in target naming latencies and a decrease in the N400 amplitude.

Retrieval of retrained and reconsolidated memories are associated with a distinct neural network
Luz Bavassi,Luz Bavassi,Cecilia Forcato,Rodrigo S. Fernández,Rodrigo S. Fernández,Gabriela De Pino,Maria Eugenia Pedreira,Maria Eugenia Pedreira,Mirta F. Villarreal,Mirta F. Villarreal +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that reconsolidated memories imprint a more locally efficient network that is better at exchanging information, compared with memories that were retrained or untreated, and a method to elucidate the neural footprints associated with a relevant function of memory reconsolidation is reported.
Positive modulation of a neutral declarative memory by a threatening social event
Rodrigo S. Fernández,Luz Bavassi,Jorge Campos,Ricardo F. Allegri,Victor A. Molina,Cecilia Forcato,Maria Eugenia Pedreira +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a threatening social situation activates not only the SYM axis and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis but also, it improves the acquisition or early consolidation of the syllable pairs and increases the persistence of memory.
