Behaviorally, we showed that cortisol enhanced the difference between emotional and neutral consolidated memory, effectively prioritizing emotional memory consolidation.
This impairment may be due to impairment of (1) consolidation of memory, (2) maintenance of consolidated memory or (3) memory retrieval (recall).
Consolidated memory can be again destabilized by the presentation of a memory cue (reminder) of the previously acquired information.
The reconsolidation hypothesis proposes that a previously consolidated memory recalled by a reminder enters an unstable state (memory labilization) during which it is transiently sensitive to disruption.
This hypothesis makes a number of still untested predictions, and future experiments designed to address these will help to fill gaps in the current understanding of the cortical structure of consolidated memory.
Furthermore, the consolidated memory is maintained for at least 7 days.

But in this study the presumably robust, consolidated memories are the ones in jeopardy.
Last year, a German researcher developed an algorithm that was able to tease out the content of consolidated memories in sleeping subjects based on nearly imperceptible changes in brain activity.
For decades, it has been commonly assumed that consolidated memories are not subject to further modification.
Our hypothesis was that if consolidated memories are resistant to interference, and if sleep plays an active role in memory consolidation, then memories would be more resistant to interference after sleep than after similar time periods awake.
Furthermore, even established memories may be subject to manipulation upon reactivation the triggering of previously consolidated memories may return them to a labile state and in need of reconsolidation if they are to persist [14], [35], [36].
