DESCRIPTION:<p>Be advised this is an online event through Zoom. Please register for the attandence details.</p>\n<p>Abstract: <span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica\,\n        sans-serif\;">Recent neurobiological findings lead to an important conclusion for the philosophy of memory: neuronal ensembles that support memories (which may roughly correspond to memory traces or engrams in philosophical discussion) do not <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">remain the same over time. This conclusion reinforces the idea that memory is dynamic by nature. One mechanism which is closely related to the modification of <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">memories and consequently to the dynamic nature of neuronal ensembles is memory reconsolidation\, a process that involves the destabilization of already consolidated <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">neural circuits and posterior restabilization. Memory reconsolidation is well studied in neurosciences\, but almost unexplored in philosophy. Thus\, this work aims to present <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">an overview of the mechanisms of memory reconsolidation and explore some related philosophical implications. Three main topics about the memory reconsolidation <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">process will be discussed. First\, recent findings in neurobiology and cognitive neurosciences of memory reconsolidation process will be presented\, and the <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">relationship between reconsolidation and philosophical memory traces or engrams will be analyzed. Second\, it will be discussed the conditions for memory reconsolidation <span style="font-family: arial\,\n        helvetica\, sans-serif\;">occurrence\, and it will be analyzed if reconsolidation is a neurobiological process independent from others\, like memory consolidation or extinction. Finally\, the <span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica\,\n        sans-serif\;">relationship between memory reconsolidation and some theories of remembering\, mainly causal and simulation theories\, will be explored\, and some future perspectives on the topic will be discussed. </p>
