Hormones and Memory

Research output: Chapter in Book/Entry/Poem › Chapter

Abstract

This article examines the roles of hormones in regulating two aspects of memory. The first aspect is hormonal control of memory formation, with evidence that hormonal responses to an experience up-regulate the brain processes responsible for storing new information. The second aspect is hormonal control of the strategies used to solve a problem, with a basis in differential activation of neural systems responsible for storing different attributes of memory. These issues are illustrated using epinephrine, corticosterone, and estrogens as the principal examples of hormonal effects on memory. Included in the article are descriptions of several mechanisms by which hormones act on memory.
