Role of the basolateral amygdala in memory consolidation.

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 ...

The mid-ventrolateral prefrontal cortex: insights into its role in memory retrieval.

Although it is widely known that the prefrontal cortex plays a role in memory, the specific contribution of particular prefrontal regions in mnemonic functions remains controversial. The present investigation examined whether the mid-ventrolateral ...

Genetic correlations between brain volumes and the WAIS-III dimensions of verbal comprehension, working memory, perceptual organization, and processing speed.

We recently showed that the correlation of gray and white matter volume with full scale IQ and the Working Memory dimension are completely mediated by common genetic factors (Posthuma et al., 2002). Here we examine whether the other WAIS III dimensions ...

Pharmacological findings contribute to the understanding of the main physiological mechanisms of memory retrieval.

Recent pharmacological findings have shown that retrieval of one-trial avoidance learning requires glutamate receptors, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinases in the hippocampus, entorhinal, posterior parietal and anterior ...

Feeling-of-knowing in episodic memory: an event-related fMRI study.

An individual may fail to recall an item from memory but still feel that it would be recognized on a later test, a retrieval state termed the "feeling-of-knowing" (FOK). In this study we used event-related fMRI and the FOK to examine both encoding- and ...

Maternal blood lead effects on infant intelligence at age 7 months.

A sample of 7-month-old African-American infants, exposed to maternal blood lead levels less than 5 microg/dL, were assessed with the Fagan test of Infant Intelligence. The results indicate significant effects on memory and cognitive functioning. ...

Neuropsychological impairment in patients with major depressive disorder: the effects of feedback on task performance.

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that an abnormal response to performance feedback may contribute to the wide-ranging neuropsychological deficits typically associated with depressive illness. The present research sought to determine whether the ...

Changes across age groups in self-choice elaboration and incidental memory.

This study investigated differences in the self-choice elaboration and an experimenter-provided elaboration on incidental memory of 7- to 12-yr.-olds. In a self-choice elaboration condition 34 second and 25 sixth graders were asked to choose one of the ...

Structure and limited capacity in verbal working memory: a study with event-related potentials.

In order to test recent claims about the structure of verbal working memory, two ERP experiments with Dutch speaking participants were carried out. We compared the ERP effects of syntactic and semantic mid-sentence anomalies in subject and object ...

Ipsilateral cortical activation during finger sequences of increasing complexity: representation of movement difficulty or memory load?

OBJECTIVE: To investigate, if increasing ipsilateral cortical activation during sequential finger movements of increasing complexity relates to the difficulty of transitions (sequence complexity) or to increasing motor memory load (sequence length). ...
