Dissociating Retrieval Success from Incidental Encoding Activity during Emotional Memory Retrieval, in the Medial Temporal Lobe
The memory-enhancing effect of emotion, during encoding and retrieval, has been linked to the engagement of emotion- and memory-related medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions (amygdala-AMY; hippocampus-HC; parahippocampus-PHC).However, recognition tasks used to investigate the neural correlates of retrieval make it difficult to distinguish MTL engageme
