The memory consolidation hypothesis proposed 100 years ago by Müller and Pilzecker
continues to guide memory research. The hypothesis that new memories consolidate slowly …

Emotionally significant experiences tend to be well remembered, and the amygdala has a
pivotal role in this process. But the efficient encoding of emotional memories can become …

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 …

Neuroscience is witnessing growing interest in understanding brain mechanisms of memory
formation for emotionally arousing events, a development closely related to renewed interest …

Neuromodulators associated with arousal modulate learning and memory, but most of these
substances do not freely enter the brain from the periphery. In rodents, these …

This chapter describes the current state of knowledge regarding the developmental
neurobiology of stress, its relation to psychiatric disorders, and the impact of early adverse …

There is extensive evidence that the amygdala is involved in affectively influenced memory.
The central hypothesis guiding the research reviewed in this paper is that emotional arousal …

Direct vagus nerve stimulation (dVNS) is known to improve mood, epilepsy, and memory.
Memory improvements have been observed in Alzheimer's disease patients after long-term …

The vagus nerve is an important source of afferent information about visceral states and it
provides input to the locus coeruleus (LC), the major source of norepinephrine (NE) in the …

A memory trace in its active state is susceptible to interference by amnesic agents, such as
hypothermia and electroconvulsive shock, and by NMDA receptor antagonists, suggesting …
