“…Also, the time of the day, the nature of the stressor and the memory tasks, the time spent in the laboratory before the stressor and possible interference with other tasks during the study can influence the direction of stress effects on memory. This may explain why some studies reported working memory to be decreased by stress (Elzinga and Roelofs, 2005;Luethi et al, 2008;Oei et al, 2006;Schoofs et al, 2008Schoofs et al, , 2009) whereas others observed increased function (Cornelisse et al, 2011;Duncko et al, 2009;Kuhlmann et al, 2005;Oei et al, 2009;Weerda et al, 2010). The current observations clearly indicate that when subjects are tested under conditions of MR blockadeFwhich arguably might shift the balance from MR activation toward GR activationFworking memory is impaired.…”

“…Previous studies of corticosteroid modulation of working memory performance show rather conflicting results on this topic. Studies have reported no effects on WM performance (41,42), corticosteroid-induced improvements in both humans (43) and animals (44), as well as impairments (45) depending on concurrent sympathetic activation (31) or WM All effects are analyzed using voxel-level statistics.

“…Interestingly, this cortisol-induced decrease in fear processing was most pronounced in participants with high self-reported trait anxiety. More recently, Oei et al (2009) found reduced interference by task-irrelevant negative pictures in a modified Sternberg working memory task after cortisol administration compared to placebo. Although both of these studies were conducted in healthy young men and did not use angry face stimuli, the pattern of results (reduced processing of task-irrelevant negative stimuli) is consistent with the present findings.…”
