Table 1. Behavioral results

Hits, old items correctly identified as old; FAs, new items incorrectly identified as old.

Table 2. Emotion effect on recollection in the MTL (t scores)

t statistics were performed on the signal extracted from the peak voxels identified in each MTL subregion and contrast of interest (t = 1.94, P

^* For the (Emo rRS-kRS) > (Neu rRS-kRS) contrast, because the peak voxel fell on the border between the HC tail and the posterior parahippocampal gyrus, these two regions were considered together

Table 3. Correlations between the AMY and the MTL memory regions

Correlations were calculated between the AMY and the MTL memory regions showing greater recollection- vs. familiarity-based retrieval success activity for emotional than for neutral pictures. The greatest differences were in the case of recollection-based responses. Similar to Table 2, the signals from posterior HC/parahippocampal regions were averaged together.
