2 wrz 2020 · The neuroscientific study of emotional memory has advanced considerably since researchers first detailed a critical role for the amygdala in enhancing memory consolidation for arousing experiences. It is now known that the influence of emotion on memory is both a more selective and multifaceted process than initially thought.

1 sty 2006 · Emotional memories constitute the core of our personal history. Philosophers and psychologists have long theorized about how emotion enhances or disrupts memory.
Emotional memory refers to the phenomenon where individuals have a stronger recollection of events that evoke emotions compared to neutral events. This type of memory is significantly less likely to be forgotten over time and is influenced by brain regions such as the amygdala and hippocampus.
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.
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.
This chapter explores the neuroanatomy of emotional memory, arguing that the brain mechanisms that encode, consolidate, and retrieve memories may operate differentially in emotional and non-emotional contexts.
4 kwi 2024 · We investigate how human medial temporal lobe (MTL) neurons support emotional memory by recording spiking activity from the hippocampus, amygdala, and entorhinal cortex during encoding and recognition sessions of an emotional memory task in patients with pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.
