Abstract

Karim Nader changed the course of memory research by reviving interest in the mostly forgotten topic of post-retrieval manipulations of memory. In this paper I summarize the events leading up to his ground-breaking study in my lab on so-called memory reconsolidation, and the effects of that study on the field.
