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 …

The hippocampus and its extended network contribute to encoding and recall of episodic
experiences. Drawing from recent anatomical, physiological, and behavioral studies, we …

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 …

DNA methylation is a covalent chemical modification of DNA catalyzed by DNA
methyltransferases (DNMTs). DNA methylation is associated with transcriptional silencing …

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 …

Activity‐dependent changes in gene‐expression are believed to underlie the molecular
representation of memory. In this study, we report that in vivo activation of neurons rapidly …

Different functions have been suggested for the hippocampus and its subdivisions along
both transversal and longitudinal axes. Expression of immediate-early genes (IEGs) has …

Introduction Studies of drug enhancement of cognition began with Lashley's (Psychobiology
1: 141–170, 1917) report that strychnine administered before daily training trials enhanced …

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 …
