The observation that retrieval returns a stable memory into a labile state cannot be readily explained by any simple version of consolidation theory. This finding has been interpreted as evidence for the need to reconsolidate a memory after reactivating it. However, as we discuss in this commentary, other behavioural observations indicate that even this modification to consolidation theory may be insufficient to describe the dynamic properties of memory.
