Project description
Unravelling the mechanisms of stress modulation of episodic memory
Episodic memory is the conscious recollection of a personal experience including what happened and when. Stress modulates the storage and retrieval of information but stress effects on memory have never been linked to time perception during a stressful experience. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the TIME project will develop the first model of stress effects on memory of events and time perception. An experimental approach including functional magnetic resonance imaging (measuring brain activity during a task by detecting changes associated with blood flow), pharmacological manipulation and virtual reality will shed light on the mechanisms of encoding, consolidation and retrieval of the ‘what’ and ‘when’ of stressful experiences.
