Involvement of the insular cortex in regulating glucocorticoid effects on memory consolidation of inhibitory avoidance training

Involvement of the insular cortex in regulating glucocorticoid effects on memory consolidation of inhibitory avoidance training

Glucocorticoids are known to enhance the consolidation of memory of emotionally arousing experiences by acting upon a network of interconnected brain regions. Although animal studies typically do not consider the insular cortex (IC) to be part of this network, the present findings indicate that the...
