Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of stress and stress hormones on human cognition: Implications for the field of brain and cognition.
TL;DR: The cases that led to the diagnosis of glucocorticoid-induced 'steroid psychosis' in human populations are summarized and it is suggested that some of the 'age-related memory impairments' observed in the literature could be partly due to increased stress reactivity in older adults to the environmental context of testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress hormones and human memory function across the lifespan

TL;DR: The results of these studies show that both bottom-up ( effects of glucocorticoids on cognitive function), and top-down (effects of cognitive processing on glucOCorticoid secretion) effects exist in the human population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of adrenergic and corticosteroid hormonal systems on human short- and long-term declarative memory for emotionally arousing material.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that adrenergic and corticosteroid hormonal systems differentially affect declarative memory for emotionally arousing and neutral material, and suggest that interactions between adrenal hormonal systems modulate emotionally aroused declaratives memory in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The perfect time to be stressed: a differential modulation of human memory by stress applied in the morning or in the afternoon.
TL;DR: Results show that stress-induced increases in salivary cortisol levels impaired delayed free recall of emotionally arousing material in the morning group, but not in the afternoon group, and suggest that the experimental context, i.e., time of day at which the experiment occurs, modulates the effects of stress on human declarative memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metyrapone administration reduces the strength of an emotional memory trace in a long-lasting manner.
TL;DR: Results show that decreasing GC levels via metyrapone administration is an efficient way to reduce the strength of an emotional memory in a long-lasting manner.
