Learning & memory: Frontal lobe anatomy

Learning & memory: Frontal lobe & episodic memory Brewer J, Science 1998; Wagner A, Science 1998

Learning & memory: Working memory Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: Digit span Delayed match to sample N-back

Learning & memory: Working memory D’Esposito M, 2002

Learning & memory: Working memory & sleep deprivation After full night sleep After sleep deprivation N-back task Drummond SP, Nature 2004

Learning & memory: Striatal anatomy

Learning & memory: Striatum & procedural memory Knowlton BJ, Science 1996

Learning & memory: Competition between systems Poldrack R, Nature 2001

Emotional learning & memory: Amygdala & orbitofrontal cortex Poldrack R, Nature 2001

Emotional conditioning is dependent on amygdala, declarative learning on the hippocampus Bechara A, Science 1995

Amygdala activation is related to emotional intensity at encoding, and predicts recall Recognition 3 weeks later Canli T, J Neurosci 2000

‘Unseen’ emotional stimuli activate amygdala & can elicit emotional conditioning Morris JS, Brain 2001

Systems for processing facial emotion Adolphs R, Curr Opn Nbiol 2002

Learning & memory Binding information processed by the brain for storage and future use
