Contributions of the Amygdala to Emotion Processing: From Animal Models to Human Behavior
TL;DR: Five major research topics are highlighted that illustrate parallel roles for the amygdala in humans and other animals, including implicit emotional learning and memory, emotional modulation of memory,otional influences on attention and perception, emotion and social behavior, and emotion inhibition and regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The debate over dopamine’s role in reward: the case for incentive salience
TL;DR: Dopamine’s contribution appears to be chiefly to cause ‘wanting’ for hedonic rewards, more than ‘liking’ or learning for those rewards.
Journal ArticleDOI
The amygdala modulates the consolidation of memories of emotionally arousing experiences
TL;DR: Findings from animal and human studies indicate that the amygdala mediates the memory-modulating effects of adrenal stress hormones and several classes of neurotransmitters and plays a key role in enabling emotionally significant experiences to be well remembered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Potentiation and Memory
TL;DR: Lynch et al. as mentioned in this paper identified the cellular and molecu... cellular and memory cells in neuroscience is one of the most significant challenges in neuroscience and identified the most important genes for long-term potentiation and memory.

Aging and motivated cognition: the positivity effect in attention and memory
Mara Mather,Laura L. Carstensen +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that both cognitive abilities and motivation contribute to older adults' improved emotion regulation.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.
TL;DR: The results of these studies point to the importance of the hippocampal complex for normal memory function in patients who had undergone similar, but less radical, bilateral medial temporallobe resections, and as a warning to others of the risk to memory involved in bilateral surgical lesions of the hippocampusal region.

Developments of a water-maze procedure for studying spatial learning in the rat
TL;DR: Developments of an open-field water-maze procedure in which rats learn to escape from opaque water onto a hidden platform are described, suggesting that they may lend themselves to a variety of behavioural investigations, including pharmacological work and studies of cerebral function.
Book
The Cognitive Neurosciences
TL;DR: The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory--a century of consolidation.
TL;DR: This review examines the progress made over the century in understanding the time-dependent processes that create the authors' lasting memories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Potentiation--A Decade of Progress?
TL;DR: A simple model is described that unifies much of the data that previously were viewed as contradictory about the molecular mechanisms of this long-lasting increase in synaptic strength in the hippocampus.
