Studies suggest the basolateral amygdala (BLA) modulates memory-consolidation processes via interactions with downstream brain regions like the hippocampus. Furthermore, direct electrical stimulation of the BLA in humans enhances declarative memory, and this memory enhancement is marked by oscillatory interactions between the BLA and hippocampus. However, the BLA disproportionately projects to the anterior hippocampus compared to the posterior hippocampus, regions that process non-spatial information about objects and spatial information about scenes, respectively. Nevertheless, the premise th
