IntroductionThe relative oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been considered as an index for cognitive loading, with the more difficult the task, the higher the level. A previous study reported that young adults who received transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) showed a reduced HbO of a difficult task, suggesting that tPBM may enhance […]

Just like a delicious cocktail can be made with multiple ingredients, our memory for emotionally relevant events can be enhanced by different mechanisms. One well-known route is through the affective response, where the emotional outcome triggers changes in brain chemistry that strengthen memories.
