Modulation of memory storage
Abstract
For several decades, the concept of modulation of memory storage has significantly influenced research investigating neurobiological memory mechanisms. New evidence provides additional support for the view that stress hormones released during emotionally arousing situations modulate memory processes. Recent experiments have investigated the role of sympathetic adrenomedullary hormones in emotional memory in humans, as well as the role of adrenocortical hormones, primarily in animal studies. Further, it is becoming increasingly clear that the sympathetic adrenomedullary and the pituitary adrenocortical systems interact to modulate memory storage. Other new evidence emphasizes the role of peripheral influences to the brain on emotional memory, as well as the critical contribution of the amygdaloid complex in modulation of memory by emotional arousal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
