Exams, tight deadlines and interpersonal conflicts are just a few examples of the many
events that may result in high levels of stress in both students and teachers. Research over …

A hallmark feature of episodic memory is that of “mental time travel,” whereby an individual
feels they have returned to a prior moment in time. Cognitive and behavioral neuroscience …

Emotional arousal enhances perception and memory of high-priority information but impairs
processing of other information. Here, we propose that, under arousal, local glutamate levels …

Our memories are not all created equally strong: Some experiences are well remembered
while others are remembered poorly, if at all. Research on memory modulation investigates …

Stressful events activate the amygdala and a network of associated brain regions. Studies in
both humans and rodents indicate that noradrenaline has a prominent role in this activation …

Over the past decade, fMRI techniques have been increasingly used to interrogate the
neural correlates of successful emotional memory encoding. These investigations have …

Emotional arousal influences the consolidation of long-term memory. This review discusses
experimental approaches and relevant findings that provide the foundation for current …

The amygdala has long been known to play a key role in supporting memory for emotionally
arousing experiences. For example, classical fear conditioning depends on neural plasticity …

Emotionally arousing events reach awareness more easily and evoke greater visual cortex
activation than more mundane events. Recent studies have shown that they are also …

The human amygdala is strongly embedded in numerous other structures of the limbic
system, but is also a hub for a multitude of other brain regions it is connected with. Its major …
