This article explores the adult learning theories that might affect the way that adult learners
perceive learning and reach understanding of clinical expertise. Although educators in�…

Emotional events are often remembered better than neutral events, a benefit that many
studies have hypothesized to depend on the amygdala's interactions with memory systems�…

The enhancing effects of emotion on memory have been well documented; emotional events
are often more frequently and more vividly remembered than their neutral counterparts�…

Everyday life is defined by goal states that are continuously reprioritized based on available,
often affective information. To pursue these goals, individuals need to process and maintain�…

Abstract concepts are often embodied through metaphor. For example, we talk about moving
through time in metaphorical terms, as if we were moving through space, allowing us to'look�…

Acoustic experience such as sound, noise, or absence of sound induces structural or
functional changes in the central auditory system but can also affect limbic regions such as�…

Microbes colonise all multicellular life, and the gut microbiome has been shown to influence
a range of host physiological and behavioural phenotypes. One of the most intriguing and�…

Research over the last few decades has firmly established that new neurons are generated
in selected areas of the adult mammalian brain, particularly the dentate gyrus of the�…

Recent evidence suggests considerable overlap between the default mode network (DMN)
and regions involved in social, affective and introspective processes. We considered these�…
