The Potentiation of Associative Memory by Emotions: An Event-Related FMRI Study

Figure 2

Illustration of activations revealed by ROI analyses. Emotional associations induced greater activations than neutral associations in (a) the right amygdala (; ; ) and (b) the right entorhinal cortex (; ; ). Conversely, neutral associations induced greater activations in the posterior part of (c) the right parahippocampal gyrus (; ; ). Emotional and neutral associations both induced activations in (d) the right hippocampus (; ; ).
