Abstract

Brain is an emotional computer which has as effective capacity of learning and memory about things which move/impress us. Stress suppresses but deep impression enhances capacity of learning and memory. Neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory are significantly dependent on our mind and emotion, as judged form our experiences. We are trying to resolve molecular basis of these neuronal processes by means of function of neurosteroids (brain steroids).
