TLDR
Evidence is reviewed from both human and animal studies that lend support to the Emotional Tagging hypothesis and to the central role the amygdala may play in its formation and on potential neural mechanisms that may underlie emotional tagging.

Synaptic AMPA Receptor Plasticity and Behavior

TL;DR: It is argued that monitoring and manipulating synaptic AMPAR trafficking represents an attractive means to study cognitive function and dysfunction in animal models.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Temporal Dynamics Model of Emotional Memory Processing: A Synthesis on the Neurobiological Basis of Stress-Induced Amnesia, Flashbulb and Traumatic Memories, and the Yerkes-Dodson Law

TL;DR: It is proposed that with the onset of strong emotionality, the hippocampus rapidly shifts from a “configural/cognitive map” mode to a ‘flashbulb memory’ mode, which underlies the long-lasting, but fragmented, nature of traumatic memories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress and memory: behavioral effects and neurobiological mechanisms.

TL;DR: High stress levels, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, tend to facilitate Pavlovian conditioning (in a linear-asymptotic manner), while being deleterious for spatial/explicit information processing (which with regard to intrinsic stress levels follows an inverted U-shape effect).
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of stress hormones on fear circuitry

TL;DR: This work discusses how stress and the endocrine mediators of the stress response influence the morphological and electrophysiological properties of neurons in brain areas that are crucial for fear-conditioning processes, including the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emotion Enhances Learning via Norepinephrine Regulation of AMPA-Receptor Trafficking

TL;DR: Examination of the role of NE in contextual memory formation and in the synaptic delivery of GluR1-containing alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors during long-term potentiation (LTP), a candidate synaptic mechanism for learning, indicates that NE-driven phosphorylation of GLUR1 facilitates the synaptic deliveries of Glamorganically-containing AMPARs.

A synaptic model of memory: long-term potentiation in the hippocampus

TL;DR: The best understood form of long-term potentiation is induced by the activation of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor complex, which allows electrical events at the postsynaptic membrane to be transduced into chemical signals which, in turn, are thought to activate both pre- and post Synaptic mechanisms to generate a persistent increase in synaptic strength.

The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map

John O'Keefe, +1 more
TL;DR: The amnesic syndrome is presented as an extension of the theory to humans and the role of operators in the locale system is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emotion Circuits in the Brain

TL;DR: The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area, and much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Place navigation impaired in rats with hippocampal lesions.

TL;DR: It is reported that, in addition to a spatial discrimination impairment, total hippocampal lesions also cause a profound and lasting placenavigational impairment that can be dissociated from correlated motor, motivational and reinforcement aspects of the procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Memory and the hippocampus: A synthesis from findings with rats, monkeys, and humans.

TL;DR: The role of the hippocampus is considered, which is needed temporarily to bind together distributed sites in neocortex that together represent a whole memory.
