Abstract: Memories of emotionally arousing events tend to be more vivid and to persist longer than do memories of neutral or trivial events. Moreover, memories of emotionally influenced information may endure after a single experience. Recent findings strongly suggest that the influence of emotional arousal on memory consolidation is mediated by the release of adrenal stress hormones (epinephrine and glucocorticoids) and neurotransmitters that converge in modulating the noradrenergic system…

Stress, memory and the amygdala
TLDR
The unique features of stress-induced plasticity in the amygdala, in association with changes in other brain regions, could have long-term consequences for cognitive performance and pathological anxiety exhibited in people with affective disorders.
The amygdala modulates the consolidation of memories of emotionally arousing experiences.

TLDR
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.
Emotional Modulation of Learning and Memory: Pharmacological Implications
TLDR
This review considers the historical understanding for memory modulation and cellular consolidation processes and examines several research areas currently using this foundational knowledge to develop therapeutic treatments.
Role of amygdala connectivity in the persistence of emotional memories over time: an event-related FMRI investigation.
TLDR
The results suggest that the amygdala and its connectivity with the MTL are critical to sustaining emotional memories over time, consistent with the consolidation hypothesis.
Aversive memory formation in humans is determined by an amygdala-hippocampus phase code
TLDR
Using simultaneous intracranial recordings from both structures in human patients, it is shown that in response to emotionally aversive, but not neutral, visual stimuli, the amygdala transmits unidirectional influence on the hippocampus through theta oscillations.
Direct electrical stimulation of the amygdala enhances declarative memory in humans
TLDR
It is shown that brief electrical stimulation to the human amygdala can enhance declarative memory for specific images of neutral objects without eliciting a subjective emotional response, and that the amygdala can initiate endogenous memory prioritization processes in the absence of emotional input.
Amygdala-mediated enhancement of memory for specific events depends on the hippocampus
The Amygdala and Prioritization of Declarative Memories
TLDR
Results from recent studies that delivered brief electrical stimulation to the basolateral complex of the amygdala in rats to reveal its capacity to prioritize declarative memories on a moment-to-moment basis indicate that this memory enhancement depends on the hippocampus and elicits intrahippocampal gamma synchrony that possibly corresponds with sharpened hippocampal spike-timing dependent plasticity.
Aversive memory and the role of the mesocorticolimbic system in defensive responses-literature review
TLDR
The behavioral and neurobiological literature showing a role for mesocorticolimbic structures in defensive responses and aversive memory is reviewed, showing that dopaminergic system is involved in fear conditioning and extinction.
Emotional perseveration: an update on prefrontal-amygdala interactions in fear extinction.
TLDR
New findings showing that lesions of the basal amygdala do not affect fear extinction are presented and an updated model for integrating hippocampal-based contextual information with prefrontal-amygdala circuitry is proposed.

TLDR
Substantial evidence from studies of both infra-human and human subjects converges on the view that the enhancing effect of emotional arousal on long-term memory formation depends on an endogenous memory modulatory mechanism consisting of the adrenergic system and the amygdala.
Enhanced memory for emotional material following stress-level cortisol treatment in humans
Microinfusions of Flumazenil into the Basolateral but Not the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala Enhance Memory Consolidation in Rats
TLDR
Findings indicate that the BLA is selectively involved in mediating flumazenil's influence on memory storage and are consistent with extensive evidence indicating that theBLA is involved in regulating memory consolidation.
β-Adrenergic activation and memory for emotional events
TLDR
The impairment of propranolol on memory of the emotional story was not due either to reduced emotional responsiveness or to nonspecific sedative or attentional effects, which support the hypothesis that enhanced memory associated with emotional experiences involves activation of the β-adrenergic system.
Amygdala norepinephrine levels after training predict inhibitory avoidance retention performance in rats
TLDR
The degree of activation of the noradrenergic system within the amygdala in response to a novel, emotionally arousing experience predicts the extent of long‐term memory for that experience.
Glucocorticoids and the regulation of memory consolidation
Basolateral Amygdala–Nucleus Accumbens Interactions in Mediating Glucocorticoid Enhancement of Memory Consolidation
TLDR
The present experiments indicate that the BLA–NAc pathway plays an essential role in mediating glucocorticoid effects on memory consolidation and suggest that theBLA interacts with hippocampal effects onMemory consolidation via this pathway.
Noradrenergic and cholinergic interactions in the amygdala and the modulation of memory storage
Glucocorticoid enhancement of memory storage involves noradrenergic activation in the basolateral amygdala.
TLDR
The results strongly suggest that beta-adrenergic activation is an essential step in mediating glucocorticoid effects on memory storage and that the BLA is a locus of interaction for these two systems.
Memory formation: evidence for a specific neurochemical system in the amygdala.
TLDR
The results support a role for an amygdala beta-adrenergic system in memory processes and time-dependent and dose-dependent decreases in retention of the task.
