The influences that emotion has on memory will be analyzed, specifically through the lens of amygdala-hippocampal interactions. Primary focus will be on the compilation and analysis of emotional memory studies, and how the enhancement of emotional memories is facilitated by amygdala-hippocampal modulation. By viewing brain activity and the direct or indirect projections to and from these specific brain regions, I will provide a cohesive, critical literature review of relevant cognitive neuroscience work on emotional memory and amygdala-hippocampus connections. By compiling relevant cognitive neuroscience findings in one thesis, this will make it easier to understand and comprehend the amygdala-hippocampal interconnection and its impact on emotional memory.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 4.0learningmemoryemotionsamygdalahippocampusThesis/Dissertation0009-0009-4451-4381
