Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive neuroscience of emotional memory
Kevin S. LaBar,Roberto Cabeza +1 more
TL;DR: Cognitive neuroscientists have begun to elucidate the psychological and neural mechanisms underlying emotional retention advantages in the human brain, revealing new insights into the reactivation of latent emotional associations and the recollection of personal episodes from the remote past.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human amygdala activation during conditioned fear acquisition and extinction : a mixed-trial fmri study
TL;DR: FMRI results provide further evidence for the conservation of amygdala function across species and implicate an amygdalar contribution to both acquisition and extinction processes during associative emotional learning tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A large-scale distributed network for covert spatial attention: further anatomical delineation based on stringent behavioural and cognitive controls.
Darren R. Gitelman,Anna C. Nobre,Anna C. Nobre,Todd B. Parrish,Kevin S. LaBar,Yun-Hee Kim,Joel R. Meyer,M.-Marsel Mesulam +7 more
TL;DR: Although the task required attention to be equally shifted to the left and to the right, eight of 10 subjects showed a greater area of activation in the right parietal cortex, consistent with the specialization of the right hemisphere for spatial attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between the amygdala and the medial temporal lobe memory system predicts better memory for emotional events.
TL;DR: Results provide direct evidence for the modulation hypothesis in humans and reveal a functional specialization within the MTL regarding the effects of emotion on memory formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired fear conditioning following unilateral temporal lobectomy in humans
TL;DR: Results show that temporal lobe structures in humans, as in other mammals, are important components in an emotional memory network.
