About this Research Topic
The Multiple Memory Systems (MMS) hypothesis proposes that memory is not a singular entity, but rather different brain regions encode and process environmental information in separate memory systems. Three main memory systems have been identified: an explicit hippocampus-dependent system for relational learning, an implicit striatum-dependent system for habit formation, and an emotional amygdala-dependent system. These memory systems engage differently based on factors such as available information and emotional state. Interestingly, these systems and their associated brain regions are also involved in psychopathology, suggesting a complex relationship between memory and emotional functioning.
The goal of this Research Topic is to explore the relationship between memory function and psychopathology. We aim to publish a collection of papers that utilize various approaches, including behavioral studies, neuroimaging techniques, machine learning, and investigations involving patient populations. By examining this interplay between memory and psychopathology, we seek to uncover insights that may contribute to predicting susceptibility to certain psychopathologies. Additionally, we aim to identify potential therapeutic tools that can shape cognition to reduce the risk of developing psychopathological conditions. This Research Topic seeks to bridge the gap between memory research and its implications in understanding and addressing psychopathology.
For this Research Topic, we invite researchers to contribute with manuscripts that explore the intricate relationship between memory function and psychopathology. Themes to be addressed may include, but are not limited to:
• Behavioral studies investigating memory performance in relation to psychopathology
• Neuroimaging studies, such as functional MRI, examining brain regions involved in memory and their relevance to psychopathology
• Machine learning approaches to analyze large datasets and identify patterns linking memory function and vulnerability to psychopathology
• Studies involving patient populations to assess the impact of memory impairments on the development and progression of psychopathology
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that shed light on understanding the connection between memory and psychopathology and provide insights for potential therapeutic interventions.
