Memory consolidation and the amygdala: a systems perspective

摘要: The basolateral region of the amygdala (BLA) plays a crucial role in making significant experiences memorable. There is extensive evidence that stress hormones and other neuromodulatory systems activated by arousing training converge regulating noradrenaline-receptor activity within BLA. Such activation BLA modulates memory consolidation via projections to many brain regions involved consolidating lasting memory, including hippocampus, caudate nucleus, nucleus basalis cortex. Investigation involvement essential for understanding influences on different aspects forms memory.
