Abstract: Objectives –  A highly adaptive aspect of human memory is the enhancement of explicit, consciously accessible memory by emotional stimuli. We studied the performance of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and elderly controls using a memory battery with emotional content, and we correlated these results with the amygdala and hippocampus volume. Methods –  Twenty controls and 20 early AD patients were subjected to the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) and to magnetic resonance imaging‐based volumetric… Show more

“…Of note, a prior report from Schultz, de Castro & Bertolucci (2009) fewer years of total schooling, whereas 10 had five years or more. Although no formal comparison across education groups was performed, a glance at the results suggests that free recall for positive pictures was not affected by years of education, thus raising the possibility that the cognitive reserve may have no effect on immediate recall of positive stimuli.…”

“…4 Therefore, the atrophy in the La and the BLVM nuclei can explain memory deficits in the encoding of stimuli (pleasant and unpleasant) during learning of explicit memories in patients with AD. 38 The amygdalar atrophy has been previously found in other neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and vascular dementia. 8,39 Future studies comparing the amygdalar atrophy in different kinds of dementias are needed.…”
