Resumen:
The
finding of memory reconsolidation in invertebrates has given an important
insight into the evolutionary conservation and the adaptive value of the
mechanisms involved in memory reprocessing. Furthermore, due to the
characteristics of some memory models, important aspects of reconsolidation
were initially found in invertebrates and then confirmed in vertebrates. In the
present chapter, we revise the findings obtained with the context-signal memory
model in crabs. Such studies were done both at the behavioral level, describing
the parametrical condition for memory labilization and reconsolidation, and at
the mechanistic level, describing molecular features involved in memory
reconsolidation and extinction. Then, we review comparative studies in rodents
in which the role of the molecular mechanisms described in invertebrates was
evaluated in another contextual memory, fear conditioning. Comparative studies
in humans on the nature of the reminder for reconsolidation are described in
another chapter of this book.
