Impact of negative emotion on the neural correlates of long-term recognition in younger and older adults

Some studies have suggested that the memory advantage for negative emotional information over neutral information (negativity effect) is reduced in aging. Besides the fact that most findings are based on immediate retrieval, the neural underpinnings of long-term emotional memory in aging have so far...
