Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of emotional arousal and lasting declarative memory
Larry Cahill,James L. McGaugh +1 more
TL;DR: Human-subject studies confirm the prediction of animal work that the amygdala is involved with the formation of enhanced declarative memory for emotionally arousing events and suggest that the amygdaloid complex serves to influence memory-storage processes in other brain regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why sex matters for neuroscience
TL;DR: The striking quantity and diversity of sex-related influences on brain function indicate that the still widespread assumption that sex influences are negligible cannot be justified, and probably retards progress in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beta-adrenergic activation and memory for emotional events.
TL;DR: The impairment of propranolol on memory of the emotional story was not due either to reduced emotional responsiveness or to nonspecific sedative or attentional effects, which support the hypothesis that enhanced memory associated with emotional experiences involves activation of the β-adrenergic system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amygdala activity at encoding correlated with long-term, free recall of emotional information.
Larry Cahill,Richard J. Haier,James H. Fallon,Michael T. Alkire,Cheuk Y. Tang,David Keator,Joseph T. Wu,James L. McGaugh +7 more
TL;DR: The findings support the view derived from both animal and human investigations that the AC is selectively involved with the formation of enhanced long-term memory associated with emotionally arousing events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pilot study of secondary prevention of posttraumatic stress disorder with propranolol
Roger K. Pitman,Kathy M. Sanders,Randall M. Zusman,Anna R. Healy,Farah Cheema,Natasha B. Lasko,Natasha B. Lasko,Larry Cahill,Scott P. Orr,Scott P. Orr +9 more
TL;DR: These pilot results suggest that acute, posttrauma propranolol may have a preventive effect on subsequent PTSD.
