Amygdalo-cortical dialogue underlies memory enhancement by emotional association
How does emotion prioritize associated memory?
The researchers show that emotional association enhances perceptual memory retention and amygdalo-cortical coordination during learning and early NREM sleep but not REM sleep.
Amygdalo-cortical inputs during early NREM sleep are essential for memory enhancement, underscoring their pivotal role in prioritizing emotionally associated memories.
