Neurotransmitters that Help Control Unwanted Thoughts

December 7, 2017

unwanted thoughts

Unwanted thoughts can haunt our daily lives – negative memories, worries, or simply off-task thinking. But most healthy adults can control such thoughts. For individuals suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), however, the ability to control such thoughts is greatly hampered.

The Effects of Stress on Learning Vary by Memory Type

September 28, 2017

stress learning

The other day, I reset my password for a social media site. When I went to login today, I inadvertently entered the old password. When that happened, I was using my automatic, “stimulus-response” memory, a rigid, habit-like memory. When I then remembered I had changed my password, I tapped into a different type of memory, […]

The work, says senior author Michael […]

What Triggers Spontaneous Memories of Emotional Events?

June 28, 2014

Whether we like it or not, sometimes distant memories of past events pop into our heads for no apparent reason. Study after study has found that memories associated with high emotions are more likely to spontaneously come to the surface than non-emotional ones. But these memories may lack specific details – cued by familiar surroundings […]
