Term
|
Definition
| a laboratory PI who showed that the amygdala, especially the basolateral nuclei, is involved in mediating the effects of emotional arousal on the strength of the memory for an event |
|
|
Term
| What types of classical conditioning tasks were used to study the amygdala's role on emotional arousal contributing to memory strength? |
|
Definition

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| How do synchronized neuronal events in the amygdala promote synaptic plasticity? |
|
Definition
| by increasing interactions between neocortical storage sites & temporal lobe structures involved in declarative memory |
|
|
Term
| During ______, sensory information reaches the basolateral complexes of the amygdala, particularly the lateral nuclei, where they form associations with memory of the stimuli |

|
Definition
|
