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 (2007, background): “Jo¨els et al. have shown that brief application of corticosterone around the time of tetanizing stimulation enhanced LTP in CA1 in vitro via nongenomic activation of mineralocorticoid receptors (Karst et al. [230]; Wiegert et al. [231]).”
Reward-motivated learning: mesolimbic activation precedes memory formation. (2006, methodology): “We subtracted the intensity-normalized signal 1 s and 2 s prior to cue onset from the signal 5 s and 6 s after cue onset to estimate the percent signal change on each trial (for a similar approach, see Dolcos et al., 2004).”
Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging (2008, background): “…activity in the amygdala when viewing negative emotional stimuli (Anderson et al. 2003; Canli et al. 2000; Critchley et al. 2000; Morris et al. 1998), and this activity is related to later memory for this material (Cahill et al. 1996; Canli et al. 2000; Dolcos et al. 2004; Kensinger & Corkin 2004).”
Functional neuroanatomy of remote episodic, semantic and spatial memory: a unified account based on multiple trace theory (2005, background): “Likewise, neuroimaging studies have shown that the hippocampus was activated preferentially during recognition of items that were recollected as compared to those which were only considered familiar (Eldridge et al. 2000; Dolcos et al. 2002; Davachi et al. 2003).”
Awake reactivation of emotional memory traces through hippocampal-neocortical interactions (2016, positive): “This selectivity of memory is partly due to immediate effects of emotional arousal on attentional, sensory, and mnemonic processes (Davis and Whalen, 2001; Dolcos et al., 2004; Labar and Cabeza, 2006; Visser et al., 2013), but is further strengthened by preferential consolidation (McGaugh, 2000).”
Emotion and cognition: insights from studies of the human amygdala. (2006, background): “A recent study investigated if the conscious regulation of emotion, which is unique to humans and depends on cognitive strategies, is linked to the mechanisms of extinction learning (Delgado et al. 2004).”
Emotional processing and emotional memory are modulated by interoceptive awareness (2008, methodology): “This strategy was chosen in order to minimise differences in voluntary attention, which may complicate the interpretation of subsequent memory effects (compare Dolcos et al., 2004a).”
Contributions of the amygdala to emotion processing: from animal models to human behavior. (2005, background): “More recently, a number of brain-imaging studies have reported activation of the amygdala during encoding that is predictive of later memory retention for emotional stimuli (Cahill et al., 1996; Canli et al., 2000; Hamann et al., 1999; Dolcos et al., 2004) (Figure 2).”
Dissociable effects of arousal and valence on prefrontal activity indexing emotional evaluation and subsequent memory: an event-related fMRI study (2004, methodology): “For example, it is uncertain if the Dm effect in PFC is enhanced by emotion, similar to what we found in MTL (Dolcos et al., 2004).”
Overnight Therapy? The Role of Sleep in Emotional Brain Processing (2009, background): “Indeed, co-activation of the amygdala and the hippocampal complex during emotional memory encoding has been reported in a number of studies (Canli, Zhao, Brewer, Gabrieli, & Cahill, 2000; Dolcos et al., 2004; Hamann, Ely, Grafton, & Kilts, 1999; Kensinger & Corkin, 2004; Sharot & Phelps, 2004), with”
