DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nAberrant learning and memory underlie symptom-dev
 elopment and maintenance in addiction\, anxiety and trauma-related disorde
 rs. Using pharmacological and behavioural strategies in the critical perio
 d of memory instability shortly after encoding or retrieval\, we are inves
 tigating whether it is possible to overwrite or weaken maladaptive memorie
 s in these disorders. In this talk I will outline some of the conditions t
 hat might be important for reducing the maladaptive influence of aberrant 
 memories in heavy drinkers\, and for limiting the development of intrusive
  memories in an experimental model of PTSD.
