Stress impacts memory
Study Findings:
- Stress activates an enzyme in the brain (protein kinase C) which interferes with short-term memory and other functions of the prefrontal cortex, located just above the eyes, in rats and monkeys.
- PKC could be a factor in distractibility, impaired judgment, impulsivity and thought disorder, all of which have been tied to this brain region.
