Concept: Memory and Neural Mechanisms
Functional specialization of mPFC–BLA and mPFC–NAc pathways in affective state representation
Two brain pathways from prefrontal cortex encode positive and negative emotions differently

Distinct and coordinated contributions of hippocampus and frontal eye field to novelty exploration and revisitation
Brain regions coordinate to switch between seeking new information and returning to familiar content

Affective surprise enhanced memory for item timing
Unexpected shifts in emotion strengthen what we remember
