Amygdala modulation of multiple memory systems. Chapter

abstract

• In addition to examining the general neuromodulatory role of the amygdala in memory, data is reviewed that attempts to link this line of investigation with evidence indicating that the brain contains a multiple memory systems. Findings are reviewed supporting the hypothesis that the hippocampus and caudate putamen are parts of independent memory systems, and evidence is presented suggesting that the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala exerts a modulatory influence on both hippocampal-dependent and caudate-dependent memory processes.
