Análisis documental de los efectos del estrés en los procesos de aprendizaje y memoria, desde una perspectiva neurocientífica y bioquímica

Abstract

Through this documentary analysis, it was determined as stress can cause interference with activities of learning and memory. Presenting these processes function inverted U, ie, low or excessive stress levels significantly affect the processes of consolidation and memory retrieval. However, moderate levels, facilitate and optimize. It was further determined that the neurological basis of learning and memory, along with other cognitive abilities such as attention, perception, decision making etc., are drastically interfered with by action of circulating glucocorticoids, released as a stress response . Finally it was determined that exposure continues stressors can cause progressive damage to the association areas of learning and memory.
