The connection between affect and memory is poorly understood. A possible
psychopharmacological linking mechanism is the sympathetic arousal that occurs in …

Substantial evidence from animal research indicates that enhanced memory associated with
emotional experiences involves activation of the β-adrenergic system. This hypothesis is …

Heading Abstract Rationale. Animal and human studies lend support to the hypothesis that
enhanced memory associated with emotional experiences involves activation of the beta …

Emotional arousal has been shown to enhance memory, an effect that is blocked by
propranolol suggesting that the noradrenergic system is important in the mechanism action …

Background. It is clearly established that emotional events tend to be remembered
particularly vividly. The neurobiological substrates of this phenomenon are poorly …

Benzodiazepines produce robust impairments of memory alongside global decreases in
physiological and subjective arousal. Recently one benzodiazepine (triazolam) has been …

In contrast to neutral events, emotionally arousing events often are remembered vividly and
with great detail. Although generally adaptive to survival, this emotional memory …

Rationale: Animal and human evidence implicate the central noradrenergic system in the
process of memory modulation for emotional material. Blockade of the beta-adrenergic …

This study examined the effects of atenolol and metoprolol on neuropsychologic functioning,
mood, sedation, and sleep. Following tapering of antihypertensive medication and a 3-wk …

Humans remember emotional events not only better but also exhibit a qualitatively distinct
recollective experience—that is, emotion intensifies the subjective vividness of the memory …
