This work has begun to yield new insights into fundamental questions about the nature of the mind and important clues about the origins of mental illness. In particular, this research demonstrates that stress, anxiety, and other kinds of emotion can profoundly influence key elements of cognition, including selective attention, working memory, and cognitive control.

Attention, executive control, and working-memory circuits contribute to the regulation of emotion.
Quoted textsource-backed
In turn, circuits involved in attention, executive control, and working memory contribute to the regulation of emotion.
Emotion-related states such as stress and anxiety can strongly influence selective attention, working memory, and cognitive control.
Quoted textsource-backed
this research demonstrates that stress, anxiety, and other kinds of emotion can profoundly influence key elements of cognition, including selective attention, working memory, and cognitive control.
Putatively emotional and cognitive regions influence one another through interconnected networks that shape adaptive and maladaptive behavior.
Quoted textsource-backed
putatively emotional and cognitive regions influence one another via a complex web of connections in ways that jointly contribute to adaptive and maladaptive behavior.
The distinction between emotional and cognitive brain systems is context-dependent and not cleanly separable.
Quoted textsource-backed
The distinction between the 'emotional' and the 'cognitive' brain is fuzzy and context-dependent.
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and working memory, often associated with cognition, also play central roles in emotion.
Quoted textsource-backed
there is compelling evidence that brain territories and psychological processes commonly associated with cognition, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and working memory, play a central role in emotion.
The effects of transient emotional challenges can persist beyond the immediate challenge, in part due to slower catecholamine and hormonal neurochemistry.
Quoted textsource-backed
Often, this influence persists beyond the duration of transient emotional challenges, partially reflecting the slower molecular dynamics of catecholamine and hormonal neurochemistry.
