Representational similarity analysis offers a preview of the noradrenergic modulation of long-term fear memory at the time of encoding

Highlights • Here we combined fMRI with fear conditioning to find markers for memory formation. • Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) revealed a rise in sympathetic activation prior to scanning. • This rise in sAA predicted the subsequent expression of fear (48 h later). • Neural pattern similarity was rel...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Here we combined fMRI with fear conditioning to find markers for memory formation. • Salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) revealed a rise in sympathetic activation prior to scanning. • This rise in sAA predicted the subsequent expression of fear (48 h later). • Neural pattern similarity was related to sAA and the subsequent expression of fear. • Representational similarity analysis yields markers for (enhanced) fear memory formation.
