Memory and Emotion
High emotional states can enhance memory formation, but it's the neurochemical response—particularly the release of adrenaline and norepinephrine—that truly solidifies these memories.

Understanding this mechanism reveals the profound impact of neurochemicals on learning and memory.In this clip
