2 wrz 2020 · While appreciating these many known ways in which emotions influence different stages of memory processing, here we also identify gaps in the literature and present future directions to improve a neurobiological understanding of emotional memory processes.
1 sty 2006 · Key Points. Amygdala damage in humans reduces the memory-enhancing benefits of emotional arousal on consolidation processes and on attentional focusing during encoding. Memories for...
This review highlights a basic evolutionary approach to emotion to understand the effects of emotion on learning and memory and the functional roles played by various brain regions and their mutual interactions in relation to emotional processing.
3 sty 2024 · These findings provide electrophysiological evidence that post-encoding ripples enhance memory for emotional events. The neural dynamics of emotional memory consolidation are not well understood.
1 wrz 2001 · A highly adaptive aspect of human memory is the enhancement of explicit, consciously accessible memory for emotional stimuli. Recent findings from neuroimaging, neuropsychological, drug and neural stimulation studies indicate that emotional stimuli engage specific cognitive and neural mechanisms that enhance explicit memory.
This literature has implicated the amygdala, a structure in the brain's temporal lobe, in the learning and consolidation of fear memories. Its role in fear conditioning has been confirmed, but the human amygdala also interacts with cortical regions to mediate other aspects of emotional memory.
More than just the brain’s watchdog for detecting impending threat, the amygdala is now known to regulate various aspects of emotional learning and memory by interacting, both directly and indirectly, with memory-related regions of the frontal and temporal lobes.
