Using a mathematical model, researchers uncover the effects of emotion in memory encoding. They hope the data can be used to predict which experiences a person is most likely to recall. Read More
Summary: According to researchers, naps in combination with overnight sleep may work together to benefit emotional memory consolidation in young... Read More
A new study reveals focusing attention to the context of a memory, rather than the emotional aspects, increases activity in brain regions associated with executive function and attention. Read More
Researchers report emotional experiences can influence memory and physiological states for an extended period of time. Additionally, non emotional experiences that follow emotional ones can are remembered some time later. Read More
A new study reveals sleep could be used as an early prevention strategy against PTSD. Read More
Researchers have identified a brain circuit that provides emotional memory tuning in rats. Read More
According to a new study, fear memory encoding is influences by parvalbumin interneurons in the amygdala. Read More
A new study reports researchers have been able to alter the emotional association of specific memories by manipulating neural circuits in mouse brains. Read More
Researchers reduce fear by exposing people to the memory over and over while they slept. The finding could provide a new treatment option for those who suffer from phobias. Read More
Researchers have discovered how fear can increase or decrease the ability to discriminate among sounds, depending upon context. The study provides insight into distorted sound perception with victims of PTSD. Read More
Researchers identify the sleep mechanism which enables the brain to consolidate emotional memory. Additionally, they discovered a popular sleep medication heightens the response to and recollection of negative memories. Read More
A recent study indicates microRNAs may play a far more important role in memory formation than previously thought. The research suggests microRNA—miR-182 is involved in developing memory in the amgydala. Read More
