The Impact of Stress on Memory Retrieval: Exploring Prefrontal Cortex Mechanisms

This manuscript explores the relationship between stress and decision-making from a cognitive neuroscience perspective. It examines how stress responses influence brain mechanisms involved in evaluating information, processing emotions, managing uncertainty, and selecting appropriate actions. The paper focuses on the role of the prefrontal cortex in regulating complex decision-making processes and how stress-related changes in neural activity may affect cognitive flexibility, judgment, and behavioral responses.
