Reconsolidation-Potential PTSD Treatment?

Preventing the return of fear in humans using reconsolidation update mechanisms

Pharmacological manipulations at this stage result in an inability to retrieve the memories at later times, suggesting that they are erased or persistently inhibited. Unfortunately, the use of these pharmacological manipulations in humans can be problematic.
