Consolidação da memória e estresse pós-traumático

Abstract: Extensive evidence from animal and human studies has shown that memory formation is enhanced by an endogenous modulatory system mediated by stress hormones and activation of the amygdala. This system is an evolutionarily adaptive method of enhancing important memories. Under emotional stress, this system is activated promoting the formation of vivid, long lasting traumatic memories, which are the hallmark of PTSD. The understanding of the mechanisms underlying memory modulation might lead to an improved abilit… Show more

“…Changes in the hippocampal function such as defi cits of synaptic contacts and on neurotransmitter systems are correlated with learning and spatial memory defi cits (Bedi, 1991;Cintra et al, 1990;Fukuda et al, 2007;Lukoyanov & Andrade, 2000;Morgane et al, 1993;Morgane et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2010). Pharmacological, molecular and electrophysiological studies had shown evidences that the hippocampus is a structure involved in the learning and memory processes, in the formation of a spatial cognitive map (Bedi, 1992;Lukoyanov & Andrade, 2000;O'Keefe & Nadel, 1978;Olton, 1979), and also in the neuroendocrine regulation of stress hormones and consequently in the behavioral response due to stress situations (Kim & Diamond, 2002;Margis, Picon, & Cosner, 2003;McEwen, 2000;McEwen & Sapolsky, 1995;Quevedo, Feier, Agostinho, Martins, & Roesler, 2003). The responses of the organisms to stress situations involve adaptive mechanisms to react in an effective way to real or potential threats to survival (Kim & Diamond, 2002;McEwen, 2000;McEwen & Sapolsky, 1995).…”

“…Além dessas alterações cognitivas, observa-se que o estado de alerta, o estresse e a ansiedade são importantes moduladores das fases iniciais da formação da memória e sua evocação (Quevedo et al, 2003). Dessa maneira, a ansiedade pode prejudicar a capacidade de recordar ou recuperar um conteúdo aprendido em momento de tensão (Wigfeld e Eccles, 1989).…”
