Emotional Memory: In Search of Systems and Synapsesa
Abstract
The neural system underlying the conditioning of autonomic and behavioral fear responses to auditory stimuli is now understood in some detail. It involves projections through the auditory system to the medial geniculate body and from there directly to the amygdala. The lateral nucleus is the sensory interface and the central nucleus the motor interface of the amygdala. The lateral nucleus projects to the central nucleus indirectly, by way of the basolateral nucleus. Projections from the amygdala central nucleus to the midbrain central gray region mediate the behavioral responses whereas projections from the amygdala central nucleus to the lateral hypothalamus mediate the autonomic responses. Emotional memories established through such pathways bypass the neocortex and may contribute to the unconscious processing of emotion. Such memories are indelible (highly resistant to extinction). The sensory input pathway exhibits long-term synaptic potentiation and appears to utilize glutamate in synaptic transmission. An excitatory amino acid-mediated form of synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala may be responsible in part for emotional learning.

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.
