  • Title: Hormonal influences on motivation, learning, and memory processes.
    Author: Wied D.
    Journal: Hosp Pract; 1976 Jan; 11(1):123-31. PubMed ID: 190107.
    Abstract:
    Experiments have shown that the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenocortical hormones play an important role in the motivational value of environmental cues, in the acquisition of knowledge, and in the long-term memory of learned behavior. In human volunteers, a synthetic fraction of ACTH seems to improve visual memory, enhance alertness, and increase motivation--all without the hormone's usual endocrine effects.
