一生中大多数事情会被遗忘,情绪激发能够提高记忆的储存,从而有助于人们选择性地建立起对重要经历的持久记忆。神经系统介导的情绪激发和记忆有着非常紧密的联系。情绪激发时所释放的肾上腺素和皮质酮可调节长时程记忆的巩固,杏仁核在调节这些应激激素对机体的影响中起到关键作用。应激引起的杏仁核激活以及它与其他处理记忆的相关脑区相互作用是确保具有情感意义的经历被牢记的关键。 Most things in life will be forgotten, emotional stimulation can improve the storage of memory, which helps people to selectively establish a lasting memory of important experiences. Nervous system-mediated emotional stimulation and memory are closely linked. Epinephrine and corticosterone released during emotional stimulation regulate the consolidation of long-term memory, and amygdala plays a key role in regulating the effects of these stress hormones on the body. Stress-induced activation of the amygdala and its interaction with other brain regions involved in memory processing are the keys to ensuring that emotive experiences are kept in mind.
