AIME is modulated by emotion. a Schematic “inverted-U” relationship between encoding performance and norepinephrine (NE) level, with putative locus of Go and NoGo encoding for emotionally neutral stimuli indicated on this curve. We hypothesized that emotion would shift memory scores to the right. b, c Exp 7 Recognition memory for remembered items (R) corrected for false alarm rates for Go and NoGo neutral and emotional trials (left) and the schematic (right) for participants that show AIME for the neutral stimuli (n = 21) (b) and those that do not (n = 10) (c). d, e Same as (b, c) for an independent sample replication experiment *P< 0.05, **P< 0.01, ***P< 0.001. All error bars are the SEM. All statistical comparisons used ANOVA and post hoc t-tests
