情绪记忆的神经基础

The Neural Basis of the Emotional Memory

情绪记忆具有强烈、持久的特点，在记忆中具有优势地位。杏仁核是情绪记忆的关键脑区，其外侧核是被认为是情绪回路建立的中心部份。恐惧条件反射是情绪记忆，特别是情绪回路研究的有效手段。情绪记忆的编码，储存与提取受杏仁核与各相关脑区共同影响，其中激素调节在这些过程中发挥重要作用。文中结合最新的研究成果对情绪记忆的神经机制进行讨论。

The emotional memory is intense and long lasting，which provides the prominent status to it in the memory. Amygadala is a critical brain area involving the emotional memory， and the lateral nuclei of amygadala is regarded as the central body of establishing of the emotional circuits. Fear conditioning is an effective way to research the emotional memory are influenced by the interaction of amygadala and other relational areas， and hormonal regulation play an important role in these processes. Recent research advances will be referred to discuss the neural basis of the emotional memory.
