Emotional aspects of mental time travel (2007)
D'Argembeau, Arnaud, Van Der Linden, Martial

Sleep-related hippocampo-cortical interplay during emotional memory recollection. (2007)
Sterpenich, Virginie, Albouy, Geneviève, Boly, Mélanie, Vandewalle, Gilles, Darsaud, Annabelle, Balteau, Evelyne, ...
Emotional events are usually better remembered than neutral ones. This effect is mediated in part by a modulation of the hippocampus by the amygdala. Sleep plays a role in the consolidation of...
Laroi, Frank, D'Argembeau, Arnaud, Van Der Linden, Martial
Numerous studies suggest a cognitive bias for threat-related material in delusional ideation. However, few studies have examined this bias using a memory task. We investigated the influence of...
Autobiographical memory in non-amnesic alcohol-dependent patients (2006)
