Impaired Memory Retrieval after Psychosocial Stress in Healthy Young Men (2005, background): “These observations are in accord with neuroimaging studies showing that the activity of the amygdala is associated with memory formation of arousing stimuli (Cahill et al., 1996; Canli et al., 2000), apparently independent of stimuli valence (Hamann et al., 1999; Kensinger and Corkin, 2004).”
The Influences of Emotion on Learning and Memory (2017, background): “Simultaneously, amygdala-hippocampus activation was observed during the memory encoding of negative arousing words (Kensinger and Corkin, 2004).”
Overnight Therapy? The Role of Sleep in Emotional Brain Processing (2009, background): “…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 the extent of functional connectivity at the time of learning being especially predictive of…”
Source monitoring 15 years later: What have we learned from fMRI about the neural mechanisms of source memory? (2009, methodology): “In particular, activity in the amygdala during the successful encoding of emotional information is positively correlated with activity in the hippocampus (e.g., Dolcos et al., 2004; Kensinger & Corkin, 2004).”
NEURAL CORRELATES OF EMOTIONAL MEMORIES: A REVIEW OF EVIDENCE FROM BRAIN IMAGING STUDIES (2012, background): “2), thus providing further support for the modulation hypothesis (see also Kensinger & Corkin, 2004; Kilpatrick & Cahill, 2003).”
Remembering the Details: Effects of Emotion (2009, background): “…the processing of emotional information, there are correlations between the strength of activity in the amygdala and in the hippocampus (e.g., Kensinger & Corkin, 2004), and the strength of these correlations can correspond with the magnitude of the mnemonic boost for emotional information…”
Exploring Ad-Elicited Emotional Arousal and Memory for the Ad Using fMRI (2013, background): “Murty and colleagues emphasize the central role of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) in emotional encoding (see also Dolcos, LaBar, and Cabeza 2004; Hamann 2001; Kensinger and Corkin 2004).”
Humor, Comedy, and Consumer Behavior (2018, background): “Moreover, arousing stimuli are remembered better than less arousing stimuli (Bradley et al. 1992; Dunsmoor et al. 2015; Kensinger and Corkin 2004).”
Goal-directed memory: the role of cognitive control in older adults' emotional memory. (2005, background): “…emotional words (especially highly arousing negative words) are more memorable than are neutral words even when they are learned while distracted (Kensinger & Corkin, 2003, 2004); however, to our knowledge, previous studies have not examined whether divided-attention affects negative and…”
Enhanced Emotional Memory (2013, positive): “For example, although successful encoding activated the hippocampus regardless of emotion, the amygdala was activated only by successful encoding of arousing words (Kensinger & Corkin, 2004).”
Brain Systems Mediating Cognitive Interference by Emotional Distraction (2006, background): “Although the enhancing effects of emotion on cognitive functions has been the focus of intensive research (Christianson, 1992; Dolcos et al., 2004b; Kensinger and Corkin, 2004; McGaugh, 2004; Phelps, 2004; Sharot et al., 2004; Dolcos et al., 2005, 2006), the detrimental effects of emotion on cogniti”
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): “We have also suggested that the high (declining) end of the curvilinear component of the Yerkes-Dodson law is generated largely by a stress-induced suppression of PFC functioning (see also Kensinger and Corkin [446] for related discussion).”
Processing of emotional reactivity and emotional memory over sleep (2012, neutral): “…connectivity while valence-related enhancement was associated with interactions between medial temporal and prefrontal cortices (Kensinger, 2004; Kensinger and Corkin, 2004; LaBar and Cabeza, 2006), recent studies suggest that these two neural systems can interact to promote memory (Mickley…”
Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging (2008, methodology): “…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).”
